The Press received so many stories about the poems, from people far and wide, that it knew it had to publish a second volume--this one. \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCome Shining\u003c\/i\u003e is both an oral (and visual) history of Copper Canyon Press and a lasting testament to the power of poetry within people's lives. If \u003ci\u003eA House Called Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis the birthday cake, this is the birthday party: a joyous din of reminiscences, laughter, support, and yet more poems, all bound between two covers. Contributor stories are organized across thematic sections--such as \"Personal Voltas\" and \"Stories for Our Tomorrow\"--and are accompanied by a timeline of the Press, historic photos, and facsimiles of touching notes that Copper Canyon has received from readers and poets. The result is a remarkable account of a half-century of publishing, proof positive that poetry is, indeed, vital to language and living.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Wiegers is the Executive Editor of Copper Canyon Press where, over the past three decades, he has edited and published more than five hundred titles.
