Poetry from the Plains
The Nebraska Writers Guild presents How it Looks from Here: Poetry from the Plains, a collection of twenty-seven poets who share their insights, dreams, visions, and everyday lives in the way only poets can do. The poems nestled within these pages reflect the heart and the depth of Nebraskans, and even a few non-Nebraskans.
