The Uncommon Speech of Paradise showcases the work of 120 modern and contemporary poets from seventeen countries—Seamus Heaney, Czeslaw Milosz, Pablo Neruda, and Anna Akhmatova—as well as works by such premier American poets as John Ashbery, Rita Dove, Mary Oliver, Joy Harjo, and Wallace Stevens. Together, they offer a wide variety of voices, styles, and perspectives on the theory, practice, and purpose of poetry.
