Join us for a celebration of Harwood Art Center, the New Mexico poetry community, and collaborative efforts! The Harwood Anthology , a collection of poetry by New Mexico poets both here and abroad, is being published by Old School Books of Harwood Art Center. The book has been a collaborative endeavor from the start, with book design by JB Bryan of La Alameda Press, cover art by Sally Condon, the hard work of an editorial committee, and of course the creative labors of over 70 contributing poets.

The Harwood Anthology release party takes place from 5-8:30, on April 21 st , with a reading by Anthology poets beginning at 6pm. Confirmed poets include Adan Baca, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Hakim Bellamy, Jennifer Frank, Gene Frumkin, Lisa Gill, Gary Glazner, Michelle Holland, Tony Mares, Deborah Mashibini, Elise McHugh, Don McIver, Carol Moldaw, Mikaela Renz, Barbara Rockman, Danny Solis, Joe Somoza, Arthur Sze, Dick Thomas, Beth Wingate . . .

"Here's another reason to fall in love with New Mexico. This collection makes it clear that the Land of Enchantment is home to a broad range and the best kind of poets and poetry. "

- Valerie Martínez

"These bards of Burque (and beyond) create worlds that are intense and magical; we are fortunate to have such fine poets in our own backyard . . . "

- Rudolfo Anaya

"The Harwood Anthology is a giant robot coming to destroy your preconceived notions of what New Mexico poetry is or could be . . . crushing all other anthologies with its giant titanium ro-boots."

- Danny Solis
