Sure, we said, what sort of anthology? Michael went on to tell us how he thought it would be appropriate to put together an anthology of poems from the Susquehanna Watershed area, because that's what  FootHills' first book had been, almost 20 years ago. Who would dream of saying “no”?</div> <bR> <div> In the process of putting together the collection you now hold in your hands we used several criteria. First, the poems selected had to strike us both as being excellent poems. Second, the excellent poems had to be emblematic of the anthology's area of focus, the Susquehanna Watershed. By “emblematic” we mean that they had to perform the dual function of making residents of the area say “yes, that's us all right” and allowing non-residents to say “oh, now I understand the region better.” Third, the excellent, emblematic poems had to blend organically with the other poems selected. We didn't want to assemble a collection that throbbed with flashpops of disconnected poems. We wanted to assemble a collection that flows, like the Susquehanna herself - an anthology that twists and winds its way, surely, into every aspect of the lives of the people of an entire region.</div> <bR> <div> Here's to 20 years of FootHills Publishing, and here's to 20 more.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <I>Dan Waber & Jennifer Hill-Kaucher</I></div> <div> Editors</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Contributors</B></div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="490" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 452 WIDTH="220"><div> Karen Alpha </div> <div> Darran Anderson </div> <div> Richard Aston </div> <div> Ron Bailey </div> <div> Daniel Barbiero </div> <div> Karen Blomain</div> <div> Elizabeth Cohen </div> <div> Steve Concert </div> <div> Craig Czury </div> <div> Todd Davis</div> <div> Susan Deer Cloud </div> <div> Joseph Farley </div> <div> Lynn Fetterolf </div> <div> Sheila Forsyth </div> <div> Bo Frank </div> <div> Christine Gelineau </div> <div> Jules Gibbs </div> <div> Christine Goldbeck </div> <div> Howard Good</div> <div> Peter D.
