Inhaltsangabe

From a celebrated United States Poet Laureate, a Pulitzer Prize-winning "body of work spanning 45 years, witty, rebellious and yet tender, a treasure trove of an iconoclastic and joyful mind." (Pulitzer.com)

Kay Ryan’s two-year term as the Library of Congress’s sixteenth poet laureate is just one of many accolades in an amazing array for this wonderfully accessible, widely loved poet—her awards include the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize from the Poetry Foundation, four Pushcart Prizes, and a Guggenheim fellowship. Ryan’s The Best of It: New and Selected Poems has garnered lavish praise. The two hundred poems in The Best of It offer a stunning retrospective of her work, as well as a swath of never-before-published poems—all of which are sure to appeal equally to longtime fans and general readers.
