The Yorkville Anthology of New Writers

About the Book

THE YORKVILLE ANTHOLOGY brings to print in one volume, for the first time, the works of an impressive new school of authors and poets that has emerged in New York.  Without submitting to trendiness or shying away from raw content, these new writers bring a high velocity combination of technical achievement and a bold exploration of the shared human experience to each page.  Whether it is a poem, a short story, an essay, a novel excerpt or a memoir excerpt, the high caliber of the work in THE YORKVILLE ANTHOLOGY is consistent.  Selected by award-winning editor Jacob Miller, the pieces presented in this volume bring the latest imaginative work in each genre together in this compelling new collection.
