Local poet, activist, photographer, and poetry host Dan Wilcox is included in a new anthology from FutureCycle Press entitled American Society: What Poets See.

American Society: What Poets See is a selection of poems from authors nationwide describing American society from a personal point of view. Collectively, the book adds up to a critical look at the way things are, expressed in poems whose fine quality makes them deserving of attention.

Dan will have copies with him at local readings, but if you are not able to make it to one of the many readings that Dan attends and want to order online, the book is now available for sale through FutureCycle Press’ Amazon site. You can read Dan’s poems on the publishers website.

FutureCycle Press is dedicated to publishing lasting poetry and flash fiction in both print (on demand) and ebook formats. Founded by long-time independent editor/publishers and partners Diane Kistner and Robert S. King, the press incorporated as a nonprofit in 2012. All of our editors, some of them distinguished poets and authors in their own right, volunteer their time to the press. We are a small press determined to look like a big one.
