Over the past twenty-five years, the Johns Hopkins Poetry and
Fiction series has published thirty-one volumes of poetry,
beginning in 1979 with John Hollander's Blue Wine and Other Poems.
The series was launched with two guiding principles: to publish
works of poetry exhibiting formal excellence and strong emotional
appeal and to publish writers at all stages of their careers.
Words Brushed by Music gathers the best poems of the past
twenty-five years, works that exhibit extraordinary wit, elegance,
wisdom born of experience, and mastery of language. Sometimes
comic, always moving, these poems reflect the talent of twenty
distinctive voices: John Bricuth, John Burt, Thomas Carper, Philip
Dacey, Tom Disch, Emily Grosholz, Vicki Hearne, John Hollander,
Josephine Jacobsen, X. J. Kennedy, Charles Martin, Robert Pack,
Robert Phillips, Wyatt Prunty, Gibbons Ruark, William Jay Smith,
Barry Spacks, Timothy Steele, David St. John, and Adrien
Stoutenburg. In this anniversary volume, award-winning poet and
critic Anthony Hecht reflects on the state of American poetry
today.
