Entering its fourth year, Best New Poets has
established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. Best New Poets 2009, a fresh and eclectic collection of emerging voices edited by Kim Addonizio, would make a great gift for an aspiring writer or anyone interested in contemporary poetry.
