Entering its tenth year, Best New Poets has established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been nominated by the country's top literary magazines and writing programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers represented here provides the best perspective available on the continuing vitality of poetry as it is being practiced today.
Tracy K. Smith is the author of The Body's Question and Duende, for which she won the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. For her most recent book, Life on Mars, she received the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. She is Professor of Creative Writing at Princeton University, USA.
