The Best American Poetry 2022

"Since 1988, The Best American Poetry series has been 'one of the mainstays of the poetry publication world' (Academy of American Poets). Each volume presents a selection of the year's most brilliant, striking, and innovative poems, with comments from the poets themselves lending insight into their work. For [this volume in the series], guest editor Matthew Zapruder, whose own poems are 'for everyone, everywhere ... democratic in [their] insights and feelings' (NPR), has selected the seventy-five new poems that represent American poetry today at its most dynamic, chosen from print and online magazines--from the popular to the little-known" --
