Welcome to the final installment of this year s poetry preview. I d like to thank Ana, Ken, Evie, and Phillip for joining me this year and bringing their unique sensibilities to this glimpse into the future. Our collective picks for the must-read poetry books of the coming year (don t forget to check out parts one and two of the preview) show, among other things, the incredible capaciousness of contemporary poetry.
I ve never felt the urgent need for that breadth and diversity as I do now, as I struggle as all of us are struggling to understand the chaos of the last four years and look, with as much hope as we can muster, toward an uncertain horizon. May these books be sustaining company for you as they have been for us. And stay safe! Craig Morgan Teicher
