This year's exceptional volume, edited by Robert Creeley, a figure revered across teh wide spectrum of American poetry, features a diverse mix of established masters, rising stars and the leading lights of a younger generation. The pleasure of the poems selected here, Creeley explains in his introduction, is "that they caught my fancy, some almost outrageously, some by their quiet, nearly diffident manner, some by unexpected turns of thought or insight, others by a confident authority and intent." With comments from the poets elucidating their work, a thought-provoking introduction from Creeley, and Lehman's always popular foreword assessing the current state of poetry, <I>The Best American Poetry 2002</I> will prove as irresistible to new readers as it is indispensable for poetry fans everywhere.<P> 6848082 1990 The Best American Poetry 2002 (Best American Poetry) total:46|5:18|4:17|3:10|2:1|1:0| 46 190 73 1 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Aug 22 13:16:29 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 22 13:17:02 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 14:54:50 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 14:54:50 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 14 11:10:34 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 14 11:10:34 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Oct 11 17:35:27 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 17:35:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Oct 04 01:57:59 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 02:37:02 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 10:56:45 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 10:56:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Sep 20 10:01:12 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 10:01:12 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu Jul 09 04:17:04 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 04:17:04 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 05 06:52:13 -0700 2009 Tue May 05 06:52:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 02 08:34:34 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 08:34:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 16:05:38 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 16:05:38 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Jan 10 12:22:30 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 10 12:22:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 08 10:35:31 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 10:35:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 20 19:49:39 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 19:49:41 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Nov 19 10:42:32 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 19 10:42:32 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 16 17:45:02 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 16 17:45:02 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 12 20:21:26 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 20:21:26 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 15 22:38:24 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 15 22:38:24 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Oct 05 14:46:43 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 09 13:46:54 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Sep 27 09:43:03 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 09:43:03 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=69550
