The Anthology of Monterey Bay Poets 2004 contains poems by nearly 100 poets residing in the Monterey Bay Area.

Monterey Bay, California, is a refuge for wildlife both common and rare. This anthology collects the work of the rarest, or perhaps the wildest, of life in the region — its poets. Drawing from the rich natural and human environment that surrounds their creators, the poems collected in this volume create a vivid postcard of life in this artistically vibrant region.

"The anthology is terrific....Individual poems demand appreciation — yet the collective success exceeds any one poem's strength. Congratulations on a nicely balanced collection." Dana Gioia, Poet/Chairman, NEA
