Extremes and Moderations: A Historical Archive of Los Angeles and Southern California Poetry

THE TEXT/TECH PAPERS

Anthology

Readers do not need to know the full history of Land of Sunshine before opening Land of Sunshine and Out West - Southern California Poetry Anthology. It brings together 3 entries, beginning with Anna Ball by 3 poems, Arthur B. Bennett by 14 poems, and Blanche Trask by 9 poems. The selection turns a large run of periodical material into something a reader can enter in an afternoon and return to over time. It is not meant to replace the journal’s history. Instead, it offers a clear doorway: representative writing, useful names, and enough context to connect each piece with the publication that first carried it.
