Jim Daniels is director of the Creative Writing Program at Carnegie Mellon. His books of poems include Blessing the House and Blue Jesus. His collection of stories, No Pets, was published in 1999. This anthology is a compilation of the work of more than 170 poets under the age of forty who have already published at least one book with a trade, university, or independent publisher. In an era of 'National Poetry Month' and of the 'Favorite Poem Project, ' it's probably not an original notion to set out to edit an anthology of younger poets.... But in fact it has been 25 years since poets in the 'under forty' age group have been comprehensively anthologized.Costanzo, Gerald is the author of 'American Poetry:next Generation' with ISBN 9780887483370 and ISBN 0887483372.
