From the publisher

A vivid anthology of poems filled with wit, humor, imagination, and surprise, selected by guest editor Billy Collins.

The seventy-five poems in an array of styles and forms in this collection celebrate the pleasures of poetry, from writers as varied as Laura Cronk to Reb Livingston. With insightful comments from the poets illuminating their work, and series editor David Lehman's thought-provoking foreword, The Best American Poetry 2006 is a brilliant addition to a series that links the most noteworthy verse and prose poems of our time to a readership as discerning as it is devoted to the art of poetry.
