Title
The McSweeney's Book of Poets Picking Poets,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The first McSweeney's foray into contemporary poetry brings together 100 poems by 50 poets in ten poetchains, and making the publisher wonder why it waited so long to try this. How it works: Ten poets choose a poem of their own and a poem by another poet, who then does the same, and so on unto the fifth generation. Thus D. C. Berman leads to Charles Simic by way of James Tate, and other chains run through Mary Karr, Denis Johnson, C. D. Wright, Michael Ondaatje, John Ashbery, Mark Doty, C. K. Wright, Dean Young, Yusef Komunyakaa, and dozens more.
