Best American Poetry 2024

Here, guest editor Mary Jo Salter, whose own poems display a sublime wit "driven by a compulsion to confront the inexplicable," has picked seventy-five poems that capture the dynamism of American poetry today. The series and guest editors contribute valuable introductory essays that assess the current state of American poetry, and this year's edition is certain to capture the attention of both Best American Poetry loyalists and newcomers to the most important poetry anthology of our time.
