Column Epithetical Books The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Poetry
This was my first poetry anthology, and it has traveled around the world with me. I have read it so many times that it is now in two distinct halves. This was my first introduction to Sharon Olds, and the poem "The Glass." I will keep it until it falls apart.

I didn't think I could get back into poetry after I graduated with a BA in English. I was wrong. This stuff is essential. Thank the Good Lord for poets and hip-hop artists for their artistry with the language.

For my Creative Writing Poetry class

My absolute favorite anthology of American poetry. Everytime I open this book I find something beautiful and new.

Used this for a BYU course on Creative Writing, and it was really great! I read about half of the poetry, plus a little more than what was required from the course. So many great poets! And everybody should read "When Death Comes" by Mary Oliver.

This is a pretty good collection, edited by J.D. McClatchy. There's a ton of good anthologies, but this one has a good smattering of the best American poets after the modern era (the "Pound Era," as it were). It starts with Lowell and Bishop, and goes through Jarrell, Berryman, Warren, Nemerov, Rich, up to a bunch of people I've never heard of. Good collection.

Turns out I hate poetry but Im also not a quitter.
