by edited by Billy Collins, David Lehman
Billy Collins, one of our most beloved poets, has chosen poems of wit, humor, imagination, and surprise, in a range of styles and forms, for The Best American Poetry 2006. The result is a celebration of the pleasures of poetry.
"Starred review. In the 19th installment of this annual series, former poet laureate Collins has culled the typical handful of big names and some surprising new voices from more than 50 American literary publications." - PW.
