Abstract
Contemporary poetry is a rich landscape of voices and visions. With more than 1,300 new poetry titles to choose from each year, how can librarians make the best acquisitions for their communities? The following resource materials from Poets House ‐ a 35,000 volume poetry library and literary center ‐ offer a starting point. Highlights a wide variety of selections from Poets House’s annual exhibit of all of the year’s new poetry books. The Directory of American Poetry Books provides complete bibliographic information and capsule reviews for more than 6,000 books published since 1991. These materials were originally distributed at the 1998 American Library Association Conference, where Poets House exhibited the entire 1998 showcase and presented poetry readings and a discussion entitled: “Live at the library: poets and librarians panel”.
