New Anthology Explores Cape Cod & the Islands Through Poetry

Bass River Press (an imprint of the Cape Cod Cultural Center) and Calliope Poetry have teamed up to publish a new poetry collection that explores the beauty, history, and multifaceted heritage of Cape Cod and its neighboring islands.
From the Farther Shore: Discovering Cape Cod & the Islands through Poetry features 118 poems that journey throughout the Cape, the Elizabeth Islands, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

Edited by Alice Kociemba, Robin Smith-Johnson, and Rich Youmans, the anthology brings the region to life, focusing on famous landmarks and people, traditional industries, historical episodes, and the natural beauty that have made the region a world-renowned destination.

The poets range from the well-known and established (e.g., Mark Doty, Brendan Galvin, Gail Mazur, Marge Piercy, Linda Pastan, and two Pulitzer Prize–winners, Stanley Kunitz and Mary Oliver) to those who are at the start of promising careers. All, through their words, present the Cape and islands in a way that only poetry can do.
