Reviews
"Editor Michael McFee, working with the University of North Carolina Press, has done an admirable job of gathering and sifting the abundance of excellent poetry from a state whose literary bounty has long been as inexplicable as it is refreshing."--Southern Humanities Review
"Cheers to Michael McFee and the University of North Carolina Press for letting these voices be heard."--Raleigh News & Observer
"This is a wonderful collection of many years of serious work."--North Carolina Libraries
"The poems McFee has chosen are not arcane, esoteric, nor self-involved, and though some are demanding they are still accessible, which means they begin immediately to yield delight that increases upon further reflection and study."--Georgia Review
"This 'bouquet' has a delightful aroma--varied, and pungent with a sense of place."--Publishers Weekly
"Adcock, Ammons, Angelou, Applewhite, Barrax, Byer, Chappell, Harmon, Ludvigson, McFee, Miller, Morgan, Price, Seay, Williams--you'd be hard put to come up with a more distinguished list, irrespective of regional roots. McFee has included what might be considered the poets' standard anthology pieces along with less well-known, but deserving, poems."--Ron Wallace, University of Wisconsin-Madison
