Long Journey

Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award

 

A first of its kind anthology in the Pacific Northwest, Long Journey showcases work by over 80 of the Northwest's leading poets.

 

Of the nearly two hundred poems collected in this remarkable anthology — the first of its kind for the Northwest — most are new and previously unpublished, providing readers with a fresh look at the state of contemporary poetry in the region.

 

David Biespiel's goal in compiling Long Journey was to produce "an early twenty-first-century snapshot of how various and engaging this region's poetry is," a record of what poets living in the Northwest are working on right now. Featuring poets from Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana.
