Book Overview
Award-winning poet David Wagoner and renowned editor David Lehman present the 2009 edition of Best American Poetry--"a 'best' anthology that really lives up to its title" (Chicago Tribune). Eagerly anticipated by scholars, students, readers, and poets alike, Scribner's Best American Poetry series has achieved brand-name status in the literary world, serving as a yearly guide to who's who in American poetry. Known for his marvelous narrative skill and humane wit, David Wagoner is one of the few poets of his generation to win the universal admiration of his peers. Working in conjunction with series editor David Lehman, Wagoner brings his refreshing eye to this year's anthology. With new work by established poets, such as Billy Collins, Denise Duhamel, Mark Doty, and Bob Hicok, The Best American Poetry 2009 also features some of tomorrow's leading luminaries. Readers of all ages and backgrounds will treasure this illuminating collection of modern American verse. With its high-profile editorship and its generous embrace of American poetry in all its exuberant variety, the Best American Poetry series continues to be, as Robert Pinsky says, "as good a comprehensive overview of contemporary poetry as there can be."

Yes and a little no
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
for here and now, this is how - yes and a little no. good price good text, interesting but not always inspiring. Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing: Power and majesty, praise to the King. Mountains bow down and the seas will roar At the sound of Your name.

Excellent eclectic selection of poetry for any mood or situation. A worthwhile addition to a poetry collection.
A very good anthology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The one earlier review strikes me as being written by someone who does not understand poetry and so compensates by posting an unfavorable review in which he continulally whines about how poor the poetry is, for the simple reason that many of the poems seem to be over his head. You would do well to ignore him and instead read this anthology.
