“Every anthology proposes an argument, and the one made by Other Legacies is that American poetry is richer and deeper than the usual accounts of it. In one singular poet after another, we encounter voices of piercing solitude and social passion: as Tom Postell beautifully intones, ‘O give me a solid piece of sunlight and a yardstick / Of my own andthe right to holler.’ Complicating our story now, in our perilous times, Other Legacies is a work of marvelous, necessary reclamation.” —Rick Barot, author of Moving the Bones
