Poem by poem, essay by essay, book after book—Rick Campbell has been helping writers realize their work on the page with a genuine care for both the writer and the work itself. As a poet and prose writer, he brings a lifetime steeped in the art to every conversation and to every page he edits.

—Brian Turner, author of My Life as a Foreign Country; Here, Bullet; and Phantom Noise

Rick Campbell’s editorial input on my latest collection of poetry, The Girl from Yesterday, was extremely helpful. His comments helped me see the work take shape as it should appear. He is an astute reader and editor whose insights are precise and on point.

—June Sylvester Saraceno, author of Feral, North Carolina and The Girl from Yesterday
