Sometimes, I encounter a poem by a poet I have newly discovered that makes me hungry to see more of the world through their eyes. Anthologia, a new poetry project at Guernica, was birthed partly from that desire to stew in a poet’s language and perspective for a while, to make space for a gathering of poems by a single poet — poems tethered formally, thematically, obsessively, lyrically, playfully; poems that flourish when read together. Reading the work sent our way, we see that this call was a gift, and we are so grateful to the poets who shared this largesse with us.
