It can sound like a cliché, I know, but that’s not at all how I mean it when I say what an honor it is to work with authors on books of this magnitude, @philipmetres.bsky.social. Long before I became Series Editor, the Poets on Poetry Series was instrumental in helping me shape my own poetics.

Long before I became Series Editor, the Poets on Poetry Series taught me about inquiry and craft.

What an honor, then, that two of our books were nominated for the Pegasus Award for Poetry Criticism from the @poetry.foundation.

Congratulations, @philipmetres.bsky.social and Jason Schneiderman.
