The latest volume in the Unsung Masters Series brings to readers the work of Bert Meyers. Here, we offer a large selection of his very best poetry alongside essays and appreciations from José Angel Araguz, Jim Bogen, Victoria Chang, Amy Gerstler, Garrett Hongo, Daniel Meyers, Barry Sanders, Ari Sherman, Maurya Simon, and Sean Singer, and others. The Unsung Masters Series exists to bring great but largely overlooked writers to new generations of readers.
“Bert Meyers is an American original–a brilliant poet whose use of tone and figurative language was so emotive, intelligent and nuanced, it became inimitable, became its own unique perspective on our world. I wouldn’t be surprised if mid-21st century scholars announce that in Bert Meyers we have overlooked the best poet of his generation. Immense gratitude to Dana Levin and Adele Williams for this rediscovery.”–Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa
