“The time of the major poet, and perhaps even the major poem, is probably a thing of the past. The lack of the insular may very well keep such individual peaks from bursting into being. But so many other things are happening, and being written, that a new village of poets is all around Georgia. The editors of this anthology have indeed performed their duty well, for it is a garland of flowers, beautiful and more multi-colored than anyone might have imagined, and a most wonderful way to spend some afternoons and feel the earth made new again.”
—Leon Stokesbury
