 Poetry anthology breaks ground | Poetry Northwest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
A: My thoughts about regional poetry are this: a poet’s concerns are larger than the moniker “regional poet.” Critics sometimes claim a poet for a region when the writing itself is far more complex than that, more diverse, concerned with more subjects than geographical ones.
What matters is what language that poet uses, the means by which they fashion the imprint of his or her mind onto the art, into the reader.

As an augmentation of 1991's Jazz Anthology, the Second Set is as impetuous and bent as a Thelonious Monk song, and, in a fusty, academic sort of way, at least half as enjoyable.
Feinstein and Komunyakaa, in trying to make up for their first collection's omissions, have created an exquisite mix of poetry, history and personal takes on the literary implications of the musical form.
