Book of the Week #50

The 2008 Poets' Guide to New Hampshire. Edited by John-Michael Albert on behalf of the Poetry Society of New Hampshire. (2007)

In October 2006 the Poetry Society of NH sent out a call for "strong, short poems (one page) addressing some aspect of the life, history, and/or geography of the State of NH. All poets in and out of NH are encouraged to submit their best personal effort, along with a favorite poem on NH by a published poet (we're calling that the 'entry fee')." The result is this collection which arranges poems -- including several by New Hampshire's past poets laureate -- geographically. There are also indexes by subject, poet, and first line and a listing of regular poetry readings held around the state.

Copies may be available at your local bookseller, or they may be obtained for $20 each plus $2 packaging and postage by mailing your request and payment (checks payable to Poetry Society of NH) to:
