The VQR Poetry Series

VQR is excited to announce a new poetry series published in conjunction with the University of Georgia Press.

The VQR Poetry Series strives to publish some of the freshest, most accomplished poetry being written today. The series gathers a group of diverse poets committed to using intensely focused language to affect the way that readers see the world. A poem, at its heart, is a statement of refusal to accept common knowledge and the status quo. By studying the world for themselves, these poets illuminate what we, as a culture, may learn from close inspection.

Coming in Spring 2008, the inaugural books in the series are:
