Synopsis: One of the functions of an anthology is to bring together works of poets to a wider audience. Anthologies also identify changing trends and indicate shirts in sensibility. The poets assembled here do not belong to a single trend or a common sensibility but they do share concerns and attitudes that justify their inclusion in a single volume. An anthology is a place where poems and poets speak to one another and in the process discover new configurations of metaphors and meanings. That these poets cannot be reduced to any single trait or theme makes this volume all the more a document of contemporary creative expression.
