Featured this week in the Poets of the Week Books section of the PSH
Bookstore:
THE BEST AMERICAN POETRY 2007 edited by HEATHER MCHUGH and DAVID
LEHMAN
The 20th volume in America's most popular annual poetry anthology
series is perhaps the most esoteric. McHugh, an unusual poet herself,
who says she is Fond of the textures of a text, the matter of a
letter, has tried to assemble what she feels is a cohesive anthology
rather than simply a gathering of favorite poems from this past
year's literary magazines. As ever, some familiar names--former
editors and famous poets--appear: John Ashbery, Billy Collins (Who
has time for sunlight falling on the city), Robert Creeley, Louise
Gluck Robert Hass, Robert Pinsky, Galway Kinnell. But there are also
a number of representatives, such as Rae Armantrout and Christian Bok
(selves we woo/ we lose// losses we levee/ we owe), from off-center
traditions. A few of the newbies tend toward the experimental, such
as Ben Lerner and Danielle Pafunda: Do he & he have a big muscle in
the arm from the aiming? All and all, this is a riskier than usual
volume, though also full of familiar pleasures. Certainly it attests
to poetry's continuing vitality. (Sept.)

me know so we can feature your work in the Poetry Super Highway
