From its inception in 1988, it has been hotly debated, keenly monitored, ardently advocated (or denounced), and obsessively scrutinized. Each volume consists of seventy-five poems chosen by a major American poet acting as guest editor--from John Ashbery in 1988 to Mark Doty in 2012, with stops along the way for such poets as Charles Simic, A. R. Ammons, Louise Gl?k, Adrienne Rich, Billy Collins, Heather McHugh, and Kevin Young. Out of the 1,875 poems that have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Best American Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, here are 100 that Robert Pinsky, the distinguished poet and man of letters, has chosen for this milestone edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Lehman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451658885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451658880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2013 pg. 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2013","brand":"David Lehman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986852118783,"sku":"9781451658880","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc5096ed-af5d-4702-a87f-167153f90590.jpg?v=1683285560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-of-the-best-david-lehman-9781451658880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
