A review by kweekwegg
The Best American Poetry 2013 by David Lehman, Denise Duhamel

3.0

More of a personal reflection: I'm starting to not agree with the idea of reading such "best of" collections, as they feel like listening to "best of" albums, where you just get these snippets of what the artist is trying to say and not the full thought. I really enjoyed several of the poems and appreciate the book as a whole; there was occasionally a poem that would seem quite out of place -- as if the editor just kind of liked the way the poem sounded and decided to throw it in for no other reason. But I guess I would do not better myself.
