Fiction Poetry
As selected from the first twenty-five years of The
Pushcart Prize, the best poetry in recent American
literature.
What a wealth of brilliance has
appeared in over a quarter-century of The Pushcart
Prize, and much of that brilliance has been evident in
the poetry.
From the start of the series in 1976, the
editors of The Pushcart Prize have celebrated all
sorts of poetry, from the traditional to the experimental,
by both known and unknown poets. More than 750 poems have
appeared, selected by new poetry editors for most of the
twenty-five editions.
Under the general editorship of
Joan Murray, herself a distinguished poet, all of the past
poetry editors were asked to select their favorite poems;
the result is a poetry anthology like no other. The list of
editors alone reads like a Who's Who of American poetry:
Billy Collins, Grace Schulman, Carolyn Forché, Gerald Stern,
Stanley Plumly, Philip Levine, Jorie Graham, Robert Hass,
Philip Booth, William Heyen, Elizabeth Spires, Marvine Bell,
Carolyn Kizer, Lynn Emanuel, David St. John, Hether McHugh,
and many others.
