If Frank O'Hara, Shakespeare and André Breton were alive today in Brooklyn, they might be Jason Koo. Jason Koo is alive today and he writes and I listen. I listen because he tells me something very important about what it means to be an American poet. Jason Koo is a live wire and the poems in America's Favorite Poem are shoots of ocean-colored electricity from the center of a country that listens to itself. These poems bluster and ask us, What's the point of being ridiculous? and then give us the answer just as quickly, because Over and over and over again you dream. This is an American poetry that isn't afraid to dream again. So dream alongside of it and your new favorite poem just may be you again. -Dorothea Lasky
