Overview
Librarian of Congress James Billington says Natasha Trethewey āconsistently and dramatically expanded the powerā of the role of US Poet Laureate, holding office hours with the public, traveling the country, and reaching millions through her innovative PBS NewsHour segment āWhere Poetry Lives.ā Marilyn Nelson says āthe wide scope of Tretheweyās interests and her adept handling of form have created an opus of classics both elegant and necessary.ā With her selections and introductory essay for The Best American Poetry 2017, Trethewey will be highlighting even more āelegant and necessaryā poems and poets, adding to the national conversation of verse and its role in our culture.
The Best American Poetry is not just another anthology; it serves as a guide to whoās who and whatās happening in American poetry and is an eagerly awaited publishing event each year. With Tretheweyās insightful touch and genius for plumbing the depths of history and personal experience to shape striking verse, The Best American Poetry 2017 is another brilliant addition to the series.
