Pushing the Envelope: Epistolary Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780991532155)

This is a unique anthology of epistolary poetry-poems in the form of letters. The book consists of new work by more than fifty poets from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Israel. Poetry in this collection, most written for this specific anthology, continues a tradition more than two thousand years old in the combining of letter-writing with poetry. The poets published here explore concerns that so many personal letters often express: love and loss, hope and redemption, turmoil and joy, outward exploration and introspection. The poems amount to literary envelopes that readers can open to discover lyrical language offered in the form of epistles.
