Here's one more gift-buying list from our "CC recommends" feature in the December 15 issue of the Century: selections in poetry by poet and Poetry magazine editor Christian Wiman. Below is the list from the magazine; go here for Christian's comments:
Astonishments, by Anna KamienskaAnd here's a bonus selection, a book not yet in print but available for pre-order from the publisher, with Christian's comments:
Happiness and Holiness, edited by Denise Inge
Chinese Apples, by W. S. Di Piero
City Dog, by W. S. DiPiero
The Winter Sun, by Fanny Howe
The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry, edited by Ilya Kaminsky and Susan Harris. "There are basically two types of poetry anthologies: the sober, conscientious, representative sort that's on the syllabus of every introductory survey course, and the eclectic, freewheeling sort that is as much a reflection of an editor's mind as of his or her time. Ilya Kaminsky—a young, deaf, Ukrainian-born and endlessly talented poet now writing in English—has produced the latter type of anthology: a great big grab bag of poems from all over the world, united by nothing but his love for them."
