Southern Poetry Anthology, VIII: Texas

Texas sprawls. No other state can claim such varied nationalities, geographies, and cultural richness-a largesse of natural resources, cityscapes, and landscapes of every ecosystem.

With a unique, raucous, and rich history, Texas also abounds with some of the most diverse contemporary poets, many of whom consider themselves Southern, and the eighth volume of The Southern Poetry Anthology reflects this variegation with poems both traditional and experimental, Texas-centered and universal.
