<p>Read America(s) is a poetry anthology that responds to the idea of America(s). It offers poetry not just from the United States of America, not just from North and South America, but from any manifestation of America(s); from Pangaea to apocalypse, from and occupying every negotiated borderland in between. This anthology inspires one to ask: what is/are America(s)? What are its boundaries? Where is it? Is it real? What language does it speak? This collection expresses the America(s) of the mind, of physical space, of the body and bodies in and around it. LHP offers a collection of poets who are re-writing borders--borders of inclusion and exclusion, safety and danger, highly politicized existence, physical and emotional resources. Read America(s) is myriad voices capturing the triumph--and the inadequacies--of language to navigate and grapple with the complexities of America(s).</p>

<p>Bill Knott, 1940-2014, was one of the most brilliant and iconoclastic American poets of our time, who liked to think of himself as an outsider even while publishing sixteen books in his lifetime and wielding enormous influence on at least two generations of poets. To his colleagues, students and friends he could be unpredictable, mercurial, reclusive or tenderly kind, but ever unforgettable. This volume gathers essays and reminiscences by some of the people who knew him, for whom knowing Knott was one of life s singular experiences. They include: Star Black, William Corbett, Stuart Dischell, Stephen Dobyns, Robert Fanning, Jonathan Galassi, DeWitt Henry, Steven Huff, Leigh Jejuga, Timothy Lieu, Tom Lux, Chad Reynolds, Peter Jay Shippey, John Skoyles and Michael Waters. Included here also is a short section of his visual art, which, while a lesser known side of his creative energy, is the work of a highly accomplished artist.</p>
