“An impressive and varied anthology of New Mexico poetry! … Classic New Mexican poets like Witter Bynner and Alice Corbin are mixed with contemporary icons such as Leo Romero and Joan Logghe and the volume includes dozens of lively poets from the poetry subcultures of the state. New Mexico has always been rich in poetry, although perhaps the form has been less appreciated than green chile. This anthology offers one tasty tidbit after another.” —Miriam Sagan, author of What Solitude Sees in Me

A Year of New Mexico Poetry presents a poem a day, celebrating the people, cultures, communities, landscapes, and traditions of the Land of Enchantment. This thoughtful, uplifting collection evokes the range of New Mexican life, from the poignant to the playful and from the historical to the contemporary.

The anthology features work from U.S. Poet Laureate Arthur Sze, New Mexico Poets Laureate Emeriti Lauren Camp and Levi Romero, and 190 other poets, ranging from long-acclaimed authors to contributors making their debut. What they all share is an affinity for this place we call home. 

Edited by Amaris Feland Ketcham (author of A Poetic Inventory of the Sandia Mountains and Best Tent Camping: New Mexico) and Zach Hively (author of Desert Apocrypha and Owl Poems).
