Publisher's Synopsis
If you want to understand America, look no further than Ohio. As a bellwether state, Ohio is a true microcosm of the greater country. From its famous soybeans sprouting out of the earth to its status as the birthplace of Neil Armstrong and John Glenn, the greatness of America is evident here, rising from the ground and into the endless space above us. And the poetry Ohio inspires reflects its distinction. And in Ohio's Best Emerging Poets 2019, 49 up-and-coming poets have their own chance to shine. Covering a wide array of topics ranging from love and heartbreak, family and friendship, the inherent beauty of nature, and so much more, these young talents will amaze you. Containing one poem per poet, this anthology is a compelling introduction to the great wordsmiths of tomorrow.
