Contemporary Michigan Poetry
Poems from the Third Coast

Edited by Michael Delp, Conrad Hilberry, and Herbert Scott		 Remarkable in its scope and quality, Contemporary Michigan Poetry offers an arresting look at Michigan life and a special glimpse at the preoccupations that possess residents on the Third Coast. Among the fifty-three contributors are Charles Baxter, Alice Fulton, Jim Harrison, Janet Kaufmann, Josie Kearns, Thomas Lynch, John R. Reed, and Stephen Tudor. Styles range from understated to extravagant, from closely observed to freely imagined. Poems are as varied as the Michigan landscape.

"This anthology is suitable for any number of purposes—reading it in large bites, nibbling at it in little ones, browsing in it at one's leisure, giving it to one's friends, studying it, teaching it. It is a joy." —Brenda Flanagan, Eastern Michigan University

"Delp, Hilberry, and Scott have called fifty-three [Michigan Residents] down to dinner. Their talk is diffuse and provocative, and the banquet is ours."
—Kevin Walter, Michigan Bookshelf
