As Cole Swensen argues in the introduction to this comprehensive new anthology, the long-acknowledged "fundamental division" between experimental and traditional is disappearing in American poetry in favor of hybrid approaches that blend trends from accessible lyricism to linguistic exploration. The focus in American Hybrid is on the blend; the more than seventy poets featured here-including Jorie Graham, Albert Goldbarth, and LynHejinian-have found new and often unique ways to reconfigure the innumerable and sometimes conflicting voices of the past thirty years. The editors have crafted short introductory essays on each of the poets in the anthology, providing biographical backgrounds and positioning them within the current of contemporary poetry. This new anthology is essential reading for those who care about the present moment-and the future-of American verse.

'A writer, ' Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow once said, 'is a reader who is moved to emulation.' That idea inspired New York Times bestselling novelist and memoirist Andre Dubus III to invite fifty acclaimed authors to write about the precise alchemy of emulation, about short stories that altered their view of life and their place in it-short stories that, ultimately, made them want to write something substantial themselves. Reaching Inside is the far-ranging end result of that invitation. For practitioners of the personal essay and other forms of creative nonfiction, this anthology is fifty examples of how to write about the "I" as well as the 'eye.' For teachers of creative writing, it is fifty inspiring songs of praise for the kind of writing that aspires to art. For professors of literature, it is fifty models for how to think and write critically. And for readers, Reaching Inside is simply a moving and inspiring anthology of masterful essays that reach inside us and, as Tolstoy wrote, 'transfer feeling from one person's heart to another person's heart.' Reaching Inside will remind you why you fell in love with reading"--
