As a young poet I wrote a lot, but read little poetry. I am no longer young. Along the way I figured this: If I really loved poetry and wanted to write better, I should read poetry, and I should read contemporary poetry, not just the Lit Book stuff. So I started buying books of poetry every month, by writers, when I came across The Best American Poetry series. This is a way to get a good slice of what good poetry was like in almost any given year. This 2008 volume has a fantastic opening essay by the editor, David Lehman, who is himself a fantastic poet. The essay alone is worth getting this 2008 issue of Best American Poetry.
