It seeks to foster: 1. Internationalist poetry that engages with or is from the world’s places, cultures, and literary traditions. 2. American poetry that sees the English language and literary tradition as important, but only one of many roots and paths for poetry. 3. Poetics that attempts to innovate idiom, language, and poetic form while maintaining a public audience.
