The Best American Poetry 2019
by David Lehman, Major Jackson
Wild to me that I’ve read enough poetry in the last 2 years that I actually recognized some of the poets in this collection. Some gems in here but skimmed most of them
Faves from new-to-me poets: A Brief History Of A Future Apocalypse (Rebecca Lindenberg; “A heart sorrow-whipped and cowering will still nose its rib cage to be petted.”), Hive (Kevin Young), Four Marys (Paisley Rekdal), Central Park (Catherine Barnett), Skin-Light (Natalie Diaz), Afternoons at the Lake (Fleda Brown), Dark and Lonely After Take-Off (A Future) (Yona Harvey)
Faves from known poets: from “Last Will and Testament” (Ilya Kaminsky), I Invite My Parents To A Dinner Party (Chen Chen)
