Poetry Press Week Spring/Summer 2014 will showcase the work of Albert Goldbarth, Zachary Schomburg, Carl Adamshick, Julia Claire Tillinghast, KMA Sullivan, Chrys Tobey, Zubair Ahmed, and Veronica Martin. The presenting poets were selected on the basis of their local and national reputations and on the strength of their work.
Poetry Press Week is a showcase of new works of poetry by established and emerging poets before an audience of press, publishers, and the public. The event is modeled after the fashion industry’s biannual showcase “Fashion Week”, wherein designers send their new work down a runway via use of models. Similarly, Poetry Press Week mandates that poets use “models”: instead of reading the work themselves, the poets choose the readers and presentation best suited to the new work. Press and publishers in the audience have the opportunity to hear poems that are available for publication, and the public is encouraged to engage with the work in real-time.
