Floodgate Poetry Series Vol. 3 Enid Shomer

This is the third volume in the Floodgate Poetry Series, an annual series of books each collecting three chapbooks in a single volume, edited by Andrew McFadyen-Ketchum. Chapbooks--short books under 40 pages--arose when printed books became affordable in the 16th century. The series is in the tradition of 18th and 19th century British and American literary annuals, and the Penguin Modern Poets Series of the 1960s and '70s. This volume contains a poetry chapbook by Enid Shomer, another co-written by Cave Canem fellows F. Douglas Brown and Geffrey Davis, and a third co-written by brothers Anders and Kai Carlson-Wee.
