The poetry Copper Canyon Press publishes doesn’t cleave to specific aesthetics or perspectives, but when he reads manuscripts, Executive Editor Michael Wiegers says he looks “to be amazed by somebody’s story; to be in awe of how they are using language to create feelings inside me.”Wiegers, who has held his position with the press since 1993, has edited more than 400 of its over 700 books—works that have won National Book Awards and Pulitzers, among a slew of other accolades.
