The VQR Poetry Series strives to publish some of the freshest, most accomplished poetry being written today. The series gathers a group of diverse poets committed to using intensely focused language to affect the way that readers see the world. A poem, at its heart, is a statement of refusal to accept common knowledge and the status quo. By studying the world for themselves, these poets illuminate what we, as a culture, may learn from close inspection.

Ted Genoways has been the editor of the Virginia Quarterly Review since 2003. Under his editorship the VQR has received two National Magazine Awards and has been nominated eight other times. Genoways is the editor of numerous books and is the author of Bullroarer, which won the Samuel French Morse Poetry Prize, the Natalie Ornish Poetry Award, and the Nebraska Book Award.
