The poems featured in The Nutmeg Anthology: Contemporary Poems of Connecticut invite readers to think about the state in multi-faceted and multi-dimensional scenes including childhood and recent memories of Connecticut neighborhoods like New Haven and Vernon, the written recording of the first execution for witchcraft in the 1640s and the 1944 Hartford Circus Fire, iconic buildings like the Mark Twain House and the Prudence Crandall House in Canterbury, and the astounding and majestic beauty of the Connecticut landscape as it changes every season. Any curious reader would be thrilled to discover and learn more about Connecticut based on these dynamic and evocative poems in this anthology. A stellar collection of outstanding Connecticut poets! -Sean Frederick Forbes, author of Providencia While rooted in Connecticut, The Nutmeg Anthology speaks to readers everywhere, inviting reflection on the people and places that made us who we are as we revisit those places that live within us-ordinary places made luminous by memory. A compelling read from start to finish, this stellar collection reminds us that what is remembered is never truly lost, only carried forward in language and feeling. -Pat Mottola, President, Connecticut Poetry Society Any lover of poetry would be hard-pressed to read this lush and exhilarating anthology and not recognize both the diversity and vivaciousness of Connecticut poets. For such a small state, we selfishly monopolize some of the most riveting, dynamic and talented poets in the country. I've heard folks say there are two Connecticuts, but after reading this anthology, I must say there must be an infinite number, as each poet creates their own state. -Bruce Cohen, author of Disloyal Yo-Yo This anthology is a beautiful testament to Connecticut's soul, shaped by the voices of poets who know this place as home. Bringing together a remarkable collective of writers, including our most recent Connecticut Poets Laureate, it reflects the depth, diversity, and shared humanity of our state. These poems remind us that art has the power to connect us to one another and to the places we love. -Connecticut State Senator Saud Anwar While rooted in Connecticut, The Nutmeg Anthology speaks to readers everywhere, inviting reflection on the people and places that made us who we are as we revisit those places that live within us-ordinary places made luminous by memory.
