A gorgeous collection of lyric and craft essays by a diverse assembly of writers. This is both an excellent introduction for those new to the genre and a continuation/expansion of its possibilities for those already familiar. I didn't recognize the names of most writers gathered here, but I now look forward to following their work in the future.
