The winner of the National Book Award in 2008 for Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems, Mark Doty has also earned the National Book Critics Circle Award, the PEN/Martha Albrand Award, and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. His selections for this 25th volume in the Best American Poetry series range from poems of high moral earnestness to poems in a comic register, from poems that tell stories to poems that test the boundaries of innovative composition, by such poets as Sherman Alexie, Billy Collins, Maxine Kumin, Mary Oliver, Robert Pinsky, Kay Ryan, Mary Jo Salter, Mark Strand, and Natasha Trethewey, the newest U.S. Poet Laureate. Here too are series editor David Lehman's keen look at American poetry in his foreword, and notes from the poets revealing the germination of their work. Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction. For this title, as for each of the others, a series editor reviews hundreds of periodicals, then selects between 50 and 100 outstanding works. The guest editor—a recognized expert in the field—then pares the list down to the 20 or so very best pieces.
