It’s here! The Best American Poetry 2012 has “dropped” and is in stores/amazon warehouses as you read this. Guest edited by the poet extraordinaire of Mark Doty, this issue features five, count em’, five CR poems. That is almost 7 percent of the whole anthology. And we didn’t even have to bribe. In its pages, you can find Eric Pankey’s “Sober Then Drunk Again,” Julianna Baggott’s “For Furious Nursing Baby,” James Kimbrell’s “How to Tie a Knot,” and Dean Rader’s “Self-Portrait as Dido to Aeneas,” all of which the world first saw in issue 7.2. Don Russ’s “Girl with Gerbil” was also chosen, from issue 8.1. That’s not too shabby, if we say so ourselves. You can order a copy of Issue 7.2, 8.1, or any other back issue here.
