The best American poetry, 2014 (Best American poetry series)
Par David Lehman, Terrance Hayes. 2014
"Edited by the National Book Award-winning poet Terrance Hayes, the foremost annual anthology of contemporary American poetry returns: "A 'best'…
anthology that really lives up to its title" (|Chicago Tribune|). The first book of poetry that Terrance Hayes ever bought was the 1990 edition of |The Best American Poetry|, edited by Jorie Graham. Hayes was then an undergrad at a small South Carolina college. He has since published four highly honored books of poetry, is a professor of poetry at the University of Pittsburgh, has appeared multiple times in the series, and is one of today's most decorated poets. His brazen, restless poems capture the diversity of American culture with singular artistry, grappling with facile assumptions about identity and the complex repercussions of race history in this country. Always eagerly anticipated, the 2014 volume of |The Best American Poetry| begins with David Lehman's "state-of-the-art" foreword followed by an inspired introduction from Terrance Hayes on his picks for the best American poems of the past year. Following the poems is the apparatus for which the series has won acclaim: notes from the poets about the writing of their poems." -- Provided by publisherSuccession: poems

Par David Lehman, Major Jackson. 2019
"Since 1988, The Best American Poetry has been the leading anthology of contemporary American poetry. The Washington Post said of…
the 2017 edition, "The poems...have a wonderful cohesion and flow, as if each contributes to a larger narrative about life today...While readers may question some of the selections-an annual sport with this series-most will find much that resonates, including the insightful author notes at the back of the anthology." The state of the world has inspired many to write poetry, and to read it-to share all the rage, beauty, and every other thing under the sun in the way that only poetry can. Now the foremost anthology of contemporary American poetry returns, guest edited by Major Jackson, the poet and editor who, "makes poems that rumble and rock" (poet Dorianne Laux). This brilliant 2019 edition includes some of the year's most defining, striking, and innovative poems and poets." -- Provided by publisherWalk in the Son shine
