The Best of Next... Magazine
Edited by G. Murray Thomas
Write Bloody Press
$17
A collection of articles from Next... Magazine, which covered the SoCal and national poetry scene in the mid-90’s. It covers the coffeehouse scene, the growth of Slam, touring tales, and the first appearances of poetry on the internet. It contains interviews with many poets who are now important figures on the poetry scene, including Patricia Smith, Henry Rollins, Ellyn Maybe, Miranda July, Gerald Locklin and Mindy Nettifee. It also contains lots of advice for the aspiring poet, on press, touring, and the writing process itself.
"For poetry, both in SoCal and the rest of America, it was the moment when the sky opened up – a heady, exciting time that launched a SoCal poetry that remains active, vibrant and influential to this very day. And arguably – for all of its weighty back story – the explosion of SoCal poetry in the ’90s was a tale that began with... three surf-bum poets from OC."
–Victor Infante (from the introduction)
