The Best American Poetry 2015 (The Best American Poetry series)

The premier anthology of contemporary American poetry continues with an exceptional volume edited by award-winning novelist and poet Sherman Alexie, now with a new essay by Alexie on reactions to the 2015 publication.

Since its debut in 1988, The Best American Poetry has become a mainstay for the direction and spirit of American poetry. Each volume in the series presents the yearâ€™s most extraordinary new poems and writers. Guest editor Sherman Alexieâ€™s picks for The Best American Poetry 2015 highlight the depth and breadth of the American experience. Culled from electronic and print journals, the poems showcase some of our leading luminariesâ€”Amy Gerstler, Terrance Hayes, Ron Padgett, Jane Hirshfieldâ€”and introduce a number of outstanding younger poets taking their place in the limelight.

A leading figure since his breakout poetry collection The Business of Fancydancing in 1992, Sherman Alexie won the National Book Award for his novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. He describes himself as â€œlucky enough to be a full-time writerâ€ and has written short stories, novels, screenplays, and essaysâ€”but he is at his core a poet. As always, series editor David Lehmanâ€™s foreword assessing the state of the art kicks off the book, followed by an introductory essay in which Alexie discusses his selections. The Best American Poetry 2015 is a guide to whoâ€™s who and whatâ€™s happening in American poetry today.
