On the Verge: Poets of the Palisades III (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798650452249)

The Poets of the Palisades shine in their third anthology of new and memorable works - 142 poems from 80 poets. All have had featured readings in the series sponsored by the North Jersey Literary Community in Teaneck, NJ (founded 1997) and the High Mountain Meadow Poetry Series in Wayne, NJ (founded 2017). For these tumultuous times of environmental crisis, bad politics, pandemic, andunrest, the editors selected submitted poems and arranged the best into eleven themed sections.These works, of our time, are on the verge, or, as editor Paul Nash indicates, "In transition ... about to change ... at the point where something may occur ... in anticipation ... to extend outward toward the unknown ... nearing the likely or inevitable attainment of some state of being ... to approach a barrier, boundary or portal ... at an event horizon ... crossing a permeable membrane ... to reach the outer margins of something different or unexpected."This publication, issued simultaneously in print and ebook formats in the midst of a national pandemic and social distancing, tests the community of poets and artists in its pages with the challenge of continuing to read together (virtually), and to be read by the many friends and supporters of poetry on the "wrong side" of the Hudson River. Poetry will prevail, on line, on screen, and in print.POETS AND ARTISTS IN THIS ANTHOLOGY: Joel Allegretti, Renée Ashley, Donna Baier Stein, Amy Barone, John Barrale, Caterina Belvedere, Norma Ketzis Bernstock, Michael McKeown Bondhus, Laura Boss, Theresa Burns, Laurie Byro, Kevin Carey, Cathy Cavallone, John Chorazy, David Crews, Jessica de Koninck, Erica Desmond, Catherine Doty, Juditha Dowd, Sandra Duguid, Jane Ebihara, James C.
