Published by Albuquerque’s own Abandoned Mine (poetry journal), 43 Poems for People Who Don’t Read Poetry is a beautiful and moving collection of accessible poetry, featuring the work of experienced poet laureates and new poets alike—several of them local.

Abandoned Mine’s stated mission is “to publish and promote poems that are accessible and understandable in hopes that people who presently feel intimidated by poetry will come to reframe their relationship to poetry and, in so doing, enrich their lives.”

This anthology—the first in a series—is a great foot forward!
