The New Yorker's Year in Poems

The New Yorker has compiled its favorite poems published in the magazine throughout 2016, and the list includes "Wrapper Frag," by Peter Gizzi; “Landscape With Loanword and Solstice,” by Lynn Melnick; and “Poem to My Litter,” by the late Max Ritvo. "The poetry that appeared in The New Yorker in 2016 included pieces by newcomers to our pages and by longtime veterans such as Rita Dove and the late Seamus Heaney," writes Elisabeth Denison.

Don't forget to accompany your New Yorker poetry-reading with Abraham Adams's "Say 'Ah.’" Links and excerpts to the poems are all here.
