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.
