Description

A follow-up to Beats at Naropa, Cross Worlds offers another view into the Naropa University archives, focusing on material that addresses cross cultural and hybridized work and collaborations

Contributors to the anthology represent a broad spectrum of voices, both demographically and aesthetically, and include major figures including Allen Ginsberg, Eileen Myles, Bei Dao, and Sherwin Bitsui

The anthology addresses important questions of poetry in an increasingly globalized and post-colonial political and literary landscape

Coffee House is closely associated with Naropa, and this deepens that relationship while also fulfilling our mission of publishing books that encourage and enable the production of new art

Contributions to the anthology stretch from aboriginal songmen to modernist theater and has a varied, almost conversational discourse is as lively as it is far-reaching and ambitious
