Best American Poetry 2017 (The Best American Poetry series)

Edited by Pulitzer Prize-winner and nineteenth US Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey, The Best American Poetry 2017 brings together the most notable poems of the year in the series that offers â€œa vivid snapshot of what a distinguished poet finds exciting, fresh, and memorableâ€ (Robert Pinsky).

Librarian of Congress James Billington says Natasha Trethewey â€œconsistently and dramatically expanded the powerâ€ of the role of US Poet Laureate, holding office hours with the public, traveling the country, and reaching millions through her innovative PBS NewsHour segment â€œWhere Poetry Lives.â€ Marilyn Nelson says â€œthe wide scope of Tretheweyâ€™s interests and her adept handling of form have created an opus of classics both elegant and necessary.â€ With her selections and introductory essay for The Best American Poetry 2017, Trethewey will be highlighting even more â€œelegant and necessaryâ€ poems and poets, adding to the national conversation of verse and its role in our culture.

The Best American Poetry is not just another anthology; it serves as a guide to whoâ€™s who and whatâ€™s happening in American poetry and is an eagerly awaited publishing event each year. With Tretheweyâ€™s insightful touch and genius for plumbing the depths of history and personal experience to shape striking verse, The Best American Poetry 2017 is another brilliant addition to the series.
