Just in time for a last minute gift purchase, the Boston Globe published the "Best poetry books of 2011" on Sunday. Michael Brodeur, Valerie Duff, and Black Sparrow's own Don Share contributed their individual lists.
From Don Share:
“Threshold Songs’’ by Peter Gizzi (Wesleyan)
“Poems’’ by Elizabeth Bishop (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
“Spring and All’’ by William Carlos Williams (New Directions Pearls)
“Kindertotenwald: Prose Poems’’ by Franz Wright (Knopf)
“Red Clay Weather’’ by Reginald Shepherd (University of Pittsburgh)
“Head Off & Split’’ by Nikky Finney (Triquarterly)
“Well Then There Now’’ by Juliana Spahr (Black Sparrow)
“Black Blossoms’’ by Rigoberto González (Four Way)
“Found Poems’’ by Bern Porter (Nightboat)
Don Share is Senior Editor of Poetry magazine. Black Sparrow is proud to publish his latest book, Wishbone, in spring 2012.
I don't read much poetry, so this list is very helpful, thanks!
