Personal best : makers on their poems that matter most

Belieu, Erin, 1965- editor, Phillips, Carl, 1959- editor

Overview

\"Personal Best: Makers on Their Poems That Matter Most is home to fifty-seven author-selected poems and accompanying essays that explain how and why each poet chose a poem as their “personal best.” The anthology offers a provocative and surprising range of responses in which readers will find poetic context for the life of a poem and revelatory insight into the unique, personal experiences that shape the writing process itself. Including works from a wide variety of voices both new and well-established, Personal Best is a far-reaching, essential touchstone for the art of poetry in the United States today. The anthology gives readers-both longtime fans of poetry and those just discovering its possibilities-an intimate view of the heart and spirit that make poetry one of our most quintessentially human forms of expression.\"-- Provided by publisher.
