Issue #43: Origins

Poetry East #43, Origins, is a remarkable collection of essays by poets writing on their composition process. While the essays pertain to one specific poem by the author, they inevitably reveal the inner-workings of the poets themselves. The essays reveal both the individual and the universal elements of every poet's writing process.

Origins features essays and poems by such diverse voices as Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, Hayden Carruth, Gerald Stern, Sharon Olds, Gary Metras, Robert Bly, Tess Gallagher, Ruth Stone, Robert Hass, Eleanor Wilner and many others.

Many educators have found Origins to be a unique and valuable resource for the classroom. But its insightful and inspiring essays are a delight for readers and writers of all kinds.

A limited number of copies of Origins are available as back issues for $10.00. For ordering information, please click here.
