Description
We're not sure this is the first comprehensive collection of the best & most exciting poetry to appear in this new century, but we're fairly certain it is the most extensive & ambitious. Emphasizing young & mid-career poets, with the usual smattering of acknowledged veterans, this impressive collection of almost 500 pages contains both new & previously published work of what can honestly be termed "the best & the brightest" of a new generation of poets. In addition to a minimum of three show more poems by each writer, the book also includes brief biographical sketches as well as bibliographical information & sources. Innovative, unified by the vision of the editors, & unashamedly provocative, this is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the current & future trends of American verse. show lessTags
