In the American Midwest, a country is fed and nurtured. Known as the breadbasket of America, the Midwest's vital role in our lives is nearly eclipsed by its humble and decent nature. Its citizens stand on soil that's as hardy as they are. And as they gaze across the sun-kissed fields, poetry naturally blooms.This fusion of pen and paper creates words that speak to the human experience in a way no other art form can. For thousands of years, poetry has inspired humanity while revealing our deepest thoughts, desires, and fears. And in America's Emerging Poets 2018: Midwest Region, more than 100 up-and-coming poets--representing the states of Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio, and the Dakotas--have their chance to do just that. Covering a wide array of topics ranging from love and heartbreak, family and friendship, the inherent beauty of nature, and so much more, these young talents will amaze you. Containing one poem per poet, this anthology is a compelling introduction to the great wordsmiths of tomorrow.
