California Poetry:
From the Gold Rush to the Present

Edited by Chryss Yost, Dana Gioia & Jack Hicks

California Poetry is a first. Certainly there have been other books that consider our state's rich literary history by region, such as How Much Earth: The Fresno Poets,edited by Christopher Buckley, David Oliveira, and M.L. Williams (Heyday, 2001). Others focus on contemporary poets. Two recent examples are The Geography of Home: California's Poetry of Place, edited by Christopher Buckley and Gary Young (Heyday, 1999), and So Luminous the Wildflowers, edited by Paul Suntup (Tebot Bach, 2003). Others focus on specific themes or school of poetry. California Poetry is the first to bring together such a tremendous sampling of poetry from the Gold Rush to the present, from language to lyric poetry... an amazing collection of voices.

Poetry DailyPoetry Daily: A Year of Poems from the World's Most Popular Poetry Web Site

Edited by Chryss Yost, Don Selby & Diane Boller

In 1997, Poetry Daily begin changing the way the world discovers poetry. Selecting a single poems each day from dozens of literary journals and new book releases, Don Selby and Diane Boller took the overwhelming "where do I start?" feeling and created an excited community of "did you read today's poem yet???"

Poetry Daily featured one of Chryss Yost's poems, "Last Night," which they found in The Hudson Review. Through Poetry Daily, the poem reached beyond the pages of Hudson to reach a global audience. The poem generated e-mail from all over the world—India, Mexico, Japan—proving firsthand how Poetry Daily is changing the way poetry is read.

The idea with this book project was to select a year of poems from the Web site's first five years and collect them in a single book. Before then, no one had considered taking poems from print, to the Web, then back into print. The editors approached Sourcebooks, the visionary publisher of the revolutionary bestseller Poetry Speaks, because Sourcebooks already recognized poetry's multimedia potential.
