The Plume Anthology of Poetry 4
A remarkably and deliciously eclectic collection, Plume 4 gives a wonderful sense of just how far the definition of poetry can stretch, and how much territory it can cover—and uncover. The editor has a keen sense for living language and, through all this diversity, there runs a vibrant thread, a vivid pulse, a raw edge that is life itself.
—Cole Swensen
The Plume Anthology of Poetry 3
Plume is one of the most exciting, eclectic gatherings of writers on the web. Editor Daniel Lawless has a knack for putting together voices that create surprising neighborhoods of words, related in complex ways that only gradually reveal themselves. It’s one of very few webzines that I always read. —Chase Twichell
What a wonderful diversity of voices, songs, laments, lyric utterances. I really admire the variety of new, emerging poets within this collection as well as new presentation of already familiar voices. I love how this book draws on the tradition—and expands it—with energy, with gusto, with passion. A marvelous anthology —Ilya Kaminsky

Illuminations: Expressions of the Spiritual Experience
Illuminations helps the reader move past understanding to empathy, which is the way to peace.
