COME SHINING is an anthology that makes beloved Copper Canyon poems new again through the lens of their recommenders’ stories. Within this collection, poems by beloved authors like LUCILLE CLIFTON, JUNE JORDAN, and RUTH STONE sit beside poems by their literary descendants such as VICTORIA CHANG, NATALIE DIAZ, and DEBORAH LANDAU to bring together poems that will move and inspire.
