Poetry Anthologies have more than a nodding acquaintanceship with Dickens—anthologies seem to be the best of poetry and, at times, the worst of poetry.

In this episode, we look at the history of Best American Poetry, which was retired last year, and touch on the Pushcart Prize. We also bring up ethical considerations and look at Billy Collins' Poetry 180. Lastly, we make an announcement: the Firelit Poetry Prize!

At the Table: Katie Dozier & Timothy Green.
