      Stop Hating on Adjectives!

      Jun 12, 2019

      A common admonition in creative writing pedagogy is, “Cut as many adjectives as possible.” I propose that this rule springs from mere prejudice. The post Stop Hating on Adjectives! appeared first on The Millions.

      About the Cover

      Editor’s Note

      Special thanks to editor Lisa Albright Ratnavira, Brandon Cesmat, Seretta Martin, Dick Eiden, Michael Klam of poetix.net and to our judges this year.

      In our inaugural 2006 edition, 5 days before the equinox was miscredited. It was actually written by Deborah Paes de Barros. Our apologies for the error.

      The poem by Marion Martin Dickes was inadvertently left out last year. It appears in this 2007 edition. Our apologies for the oversight.

      Instead of following the traditional policy of providing contributing poets with a copy, we send those very copies to local libraries, to ensure the widest possible readership. Our inaugural edition now sits in public libraries throughout San Diego, at every community college, at SDSU, USD, Cal State San Marcos and UCSD and at selected libraries outside the county, including the Bancroft Library at San Francisco State. A similar distribution is planned for this year.

      The entire San Diego poetry community mourns the loss of Miriam E. Murphey, who passed away in 2007. She was a wonderful poet and friend.

      Raye Rose

      Publisher’s Note

      As the cover photo of this year’s edition suggests, and as the first poem in this volume reveals, the wildfires of last October dominated 2007 throughout San Diego County. The mass evacuations of 650,000 – including my own household in Rainbow – and the loss of life and property will remain in our memories for a long time to come.

      Consider, then, that this, the second San Diego Poetry Annual, is a celebration of diversity, talent and, perhaps above all, perseverance. Art, and the effort to produce it, always seem to find ways to survive. In this slim book, they flourish.

      Here are 123 of the best poems we could find in and around San Diego County in 2007, written by some of the finest poets working anywhere. A few are familiar names, many are brand new. All are worth your attention.

      We are including a special section this year to pay tribute to the regional nature of poetry in Southern California. Poems from summer programs at Idyllwild come from workshops led by giants on the national poetry stage. How advantaged San Diego County is to sit just down the mountain from such a vibrant arts center.
