What a wonderful look at a difficult year from the perspectives of so many incredible poets. The 2021 edition of The Best American Poetry not only dives into some of the uncomfortable realities and unrests of the past year, but the editors seem to have taken special care to ensure that a variety of viewpoints are represented, There is a wide breadth of voices represented, which is incredible for an anthology of poetry.
Another thing that sets this anthology apart from other contemporary collections is that it doesn't only feature the well-known names you would expect to find. There are many poets that are lesser known and several I had never read before.
All-in-all, this is an incredible, broad look at poetry and a fantastic reflection of poetry as it exits in our world today.
Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
