A review by leotolstoy
The Best American Poetry 2021 by Terrance Hayes, Louise Glück, David Lehman, Tracy K. Smith, Henri Cole, Billy Collins, Louise Erdrich, Kevin Young
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
sealey challenge day 6 or something ??? loved loved loved a lot of the poems in this, as far as i read, but for a sealey challenge book it wasn't the best fit - there's no way i could've read all these poems in a day especially because it's an anthology and all different author and all different styles and themes and i'd just get whiplash if i tried to read this too fast, which is what i did.
also i tried throughout the rest of the month/challenge to read a little more from it but never got very far and eventually had to return it to the library.
am definitely interested in borrowing it again and reading the rest of the poems, i also made a list of the poems i read that really spoke to me and the authors i'd like to check out so overall, i really think anthologies like this are great and a great way to expand your horizons and discover some new poets :)
