Here is the eagerly awaited new edition of The Oxford Book of American Poetry, brought completely up to date and dramatically expanded by poet David Lehman. It is a rich, capacious volume, featuring the work of more than 200 poets—almost three times as many as the 1976 edition. With a succinct and often witty headnote introducing each author, it is certain to become the definitive anthology of American poetry for our time.

“There is no one more qualified to undertake such a project…a brilliant updating of the previous edition.”—James Tate, member of the Academy of American Arts and Letters and winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize in poetry
