This book deserves a place on your bookshelf alongside the Norton and Oxford anthologies.--San Diego Union Tribune<br><br><i>The Extraordinary Tide</i> is an extraordinary and important anthology that anyone interested in contemporary American poetry will want to read and cherish. The voices in this book are diverse; the kinds of poems gathered here are various in style and subject. But the one assumption that underlies and animates every line of every poem is that inclusiveness, intellectual and imaginative restlessness, impurity and radical play are the life blood of our language and our literature, renewing the very conventions and traditions they resist. Contemporary American women poets have given a great gift to all students of poetry, to all of us who go to poetry for news of what it means to be a human being at this moment in our history.--Alan Shapiro, University of North Carolina<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Susan Aizenberg is assistant professor of english and creative writing at Creighton University and the poetry editor of <i>The Nebraska Review</i>, both in Omaha, Nebraska.
