Poetry Northwest Honors Carolyn Kizer

Poetry Northwest Winter & Spring 2015 issue is the first since founding editor Carolyn Kizer passed away October 9, 2014. The issue honors Kizer’s vision and legacy, as Editor Keven Craft writes in his introduction, in that “the majority of the poets in this issue are women. The majority of men herein write about (or through) a particular she. Or contend with otherness in other forms.” The publication is entirely devoted to poetry, “including a substantial section of poetry in translation, reflecting an important part of Kizer’s early attempts to internationalize Poetry Northwest.”
