Entering its ninth year, Best New Poets has established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been nominated by the country's top literary magazines and writing programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers represented here provides the best perspective available on the continuing vitality of poetry as it is being practiced today. bestnewpoets.org

Dorianne Laux creëert poëzie die met diepe eerlijkheid de complexiteit van menselijke verbindingen en alledaagse ervaringen verkent. Haar stijl is zowel direct als lyrisch, en onderzoekt vaak thema's als liefde, verlies en de zoektocht naar betekenis in gewone momenten. Laux bezit een opmerkelijk vermogen om de kwetsbaarheid van het menselijk bestaan te vangen en tegelijkertijd kracht en schoonheid erin te vinden. Haar verzen resoneren diep bij lezers vanwege hun authenticiteit en emotionele diepgang.
