Publisher's Synopsis
Introducing The Red Wheelbarrow Nr. 16, as epic as ever, offering an incredible collection of poetry and prose. Our featured poet this year is Frances Lombardi! Plus, our special sections are back: one of them is guest-edited by poet Theresa Burns and the other is a section dedicated to Nutley High School poets. Don't miss the insightful prose pieces, covering topics that range from Williams' life and poems to memoir and book review. All this exciting work is wrapped up in a beautiful cover, featuring the gorgeous pointillist painting The Red Wheelbarrow I (Homage to William Carlos Williams) by artist Ro Lohin. We're very proud of this issue and of the community of poets it gathers each year. We hope you'll find it equally inspiring and fresh, a great representation of the best contemporary writing in New Jersey and New York. And we hope that The Red Wheelbarrow Nr. 16 will motivate each one of you to write, create, and attend our workshops and events, proving throughout the year that the epic is indeed the local fully realized.
