Brooklyn Book Festival OnePage
Week of 06-Jul-2012
Since its foundation in 1969 by Editor William Packard, The New York Quarterly has been devoted to excellence in the publication of a most eclectic cross-section of contemporary American poetry. The only concern has been to focus on the craft and technique that underlies any and all effective poetry writing. With the death of William Packard in November of 2002, Raymond Hammond stepped up to the plate and honored William Packard’s written intentions by assuming the role of Editor-in-Chief. During these thirty years, our NYQ Craft Interviews have presented the views of some of our most outstanding poets on the general subject of style and prosody and technique.
Our NYQ editorials have ranged over controversial areas such as the prescription medication and drug cultures, the publishing conglomerates in America, the pitfalls and scams in doing poetry readings and/or attending poetry workshops and the various graduate writing programs, and the never-ending pursuit of the pure process of poetry writing. But of course, the most important single feature in any NYQ issue is the poetry itself. Past issues of NYQ have featured the work of such poets as Karl Shapiro, Macdonald Carey, Amira Baraka, Richard Eberhart, Jayne Lyn Stahl, Michael McClure, Lyn Lifshin and Charles Bukowski, all published side by side with a whole host of younger and lesser known poets who are writing today.
NYQ Books™ was established in 2009 as an imprint of The New York Quarterly Foundation, Inc. Its mission is to augment the New York Quarterly poetry magazine by providing an additional venue for poets who are already published in the magazine. Since 2004, The New York Quarterly Reading Series at Cornelia Street Cafe has been host to well over 200 readers straight from the pages of the NYQ magazine. Presenting avant garde right next to spoken word right next to academic and everything imaginable in between, NYQ offers a flavor of poetry from the big apple that is as eclectic as the city itself.
