From the Author:

A New Way of Seeing Poetry at the end of the Millennium
As Canadian co-editor of POETRY NATION I've taken the last ten years to travel across North America, seeing the best performance poets let loose their passionate new strategies for poetic renewal in spoken word and slam venues; and I've also read many so-called academic writers whose words, while meant for page, burn wildly on the stage. I am proud to say that this anthology - the 1st of its kind in more than a generation to introduce so many (120) poets as a new school of poetry - Fusion - is truly an eclectic, representaive mix of the best multi-media, gay, women's, Asian, indigenous and underground poetry being created in the US and Canada in the late 90s. Classic voices like Ginsberg merge with provocative new muses, such as Nicole Blackman. For anyone interested in where poetry is heading in the Y2K and beyond, this is the collection for you. Funny, shocking and totally without restraint, words that will sear your brain are to be found within.
