Best New Poets 2007: 50 Poems from Emerging Writers

by Alex Brown

Book Overview

Praise for earlier editions: "Unlike novelists and bad-boy memoirists, emerging poets are unlikely to sprawl on Oprah's couch, date starlets, or rouse bidding wars. With an alert ear for new voices, this anthology offers a different kind of validation: that of being well heard. The result is a vibrant smorgasbord.... Best New Poets] bears evidence of the insistent inquiries of self and the world that drive poetry."--Foreword

Fantastic

I've read the Best New Poets series since it began in 2005. It just gets better and better. What I especially like, is that the editors choose as many poems from the independent submissions as from those nominated by prestigious journals and conferences. All styles, themes, lengths and regions of the country are represented. Fantastic book!
