Entering its fourth 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's being practiced today.
Distributed for the Samovar Press in cooperation with Meridian: The Semi-Annual from the University of Virginia

Best New Poets: 50 Poems from Emerging Writers
Having recently read Kim Addonizio's volume of the Best American Poetry and this, I am struck by something. I love Addonizio's writing for its emotional authenticity and rawness. I find it interesting that she doesn't choose much poetry that echoes that when she is editing. Of course, that may not be the whole truth as far as what she likes to read (what she was given to choose from, etc...) but I find that what she has chosen for these two volumes doesn't echo her own voice very much.
This is certainly not a bad collection. I would even say that it is more vibrant on the whole than some of the Best American Poetry volumes I've been reading lately. It does, however, pull almost entirely from academic poetry circles. This may or may not be good, depending on your opinion of academic poetry. Personally, I find much of it to be well-crafted but clinical.
Katy Didden wrote my personal standout and I hope to be able to purchase a book by her soon.
