Well before he became Vermont Poet Laureate, Chard deNiord thought there was a need for an anthology of modern Vermont poetry. Vermont is chock-full of poets, he thought, and it would be great to have a collection that would give people an idea of what's out there.
That book is now out, co-edited by deNiord and his predecessor in the Laureate role, Sydney Lea. The collection is called Roads Taken: Contemporary Vermont Poetry. And, as you might glean from the title, contemporary is loosely defined as Robert Frost to the present.
Chard deNiord joins Vermont Edition to talk about the collection.
