1.The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson by Emily Dickinson
Emily Dickinson surprisingly only had eleven poems published during her lifetime. It’s hard not to recognize a Dickinson poem these days, with its signature dashes and short lines, but a complete collection of her works didn’t come out until 1955, so she was almost doomed to obscurity. The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinsonincludes three chronologically organized volumes containing 1775 poems that not only showcase the writer’s genius, but also provide a history of her thoughts and feelings —...
2.If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho by Sappho, Translated by Anne Carson
The Ancient Greek poet Sappho wrote nine volumes of poetry books, but only one poem survived in its entirety, “The Ode To Aphrodite.” In If Not, Winter: Fragments of Sappho, classicist and poet Anne Carson pieces together the fragments Sappho left behind. Carson includes the original Greek alongside her translations, infusing creativity and cohesiveness into this vibrant revival of the tenth muse’s timeless poetry. Excerpt:“Come to me now: loose me from hard / care and all my heart longs / to...
3. The Rumi Collection by Rumi (1207–1273), Translated by Kabir Helminski
Jalāl ad-Dīn Muhammad Rūmī was a 13th-century Persian poet, theologian, scholar, and mystic whose poetry has transcended cultures and language barriers. In The Rumi Collection, several translators join together to offer their keen adaptations to this poet’s ecstatic work, under the direction of editor Kabir Helminski. Each of the eighteen chapters are arranged by topic, such as "The Inner Work," "The Ego Animal," "Passion for God," "Praise," and "Purity." Excerpt: “You know the true value of...
12. Robert Frost’s Poems by Robert Frost
It’s hard to imagine a poetry list that doesn’t include the infamous Robert Frost. Appropriately, Robert Frost's Poemscontains all of his best-known poems — plus several underrated ones. Whether he is mending a wall or stopping by a wood on a snowy evening, Frost knows just how to touch his reader’s hearts with his melodic lines and skillful rendering of the human condition. Excerpt:“Something there is that doesn't love a wall, / That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, / And spills the u...
13.100 Selected Poems by e e cummings
e e cummings is known for his playful lyricism that springs off the page. His mastery of an inventive style has cemented him as an accessible and widely read poet. 100 Selected Poems contains some of his “wittiest and profound” poems spanning 35 years of writing. Excerpt:“when the world is puddle-wonderful / the queer / old balloonman whistles / far and wee / and bettyandisable come dancing / from hop-scotch and jump-rope and / it’s / spring”
14. Selected Poems by Mary Oliver
Selected Poemswas curated by Oliver herself. It spans work from her very first book of poetry, published in 1964, to Felicity, published in 2015. Oliver is noted for her inspiring observationsof the natural world and the ease with which she highlights the powerful bonds between all living things. This collection is an edifying testament to the natural world she knows so well. Excerpt:“The vulture’s / wings are / black death / color but / the underwings / as sunlight / flushes into / the feath...
36. Citizen: An American Lyric by Claudia Rankine
Finalist for the National Book Award, with several other accolades under its belt, Citizen: An American Lyricand its inventive form is difficult to describe. It is one long poem that includes pictures, slogans, and social commentary and reads a bit like an essay. Rankine takes a keen eye to who is recognized as an American citizen, and forces the reader to consider the racially charged implications of everyday interactions. Her work allows for ambiguity but compels the reader not to turn away...
37. A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoon by CA Conrad
CA Conrad’s A Beautiful Marsupial Afternoonreads like a list of somatic writing exercises and the poems such exercises would produce. As they say in the introduction, “I cannot stress enough how much this mechanistic world, as it becomes more and more efficient, resulting in ever increasing brutality, has required me to FIND MY BODY to FIND MY PLANET in order to find my poetry.” Conrad invites you to find yourbody with this collection. Excerpt:“is it time to become unreasonable? / yes it’s ti...
38.Felt by Alice Fulton
Alice Fulton plays with the various meanings of the word Feltas both a fabric and the past tense of “to feel”. She touches on the many shades of emotion, privacy, proximity, flaws, and fetishism, among several other themes. Her work is both visceral and cerebral and will take you on a journey of the — sometimes untoward — imagination. Excerpt:“She dismantled ground and figure / till the fathoms were ambiguous —/ a sentence left unfinished / because everyone knows what’s meant,”
58.Sing: Poetry from the Indigenous Americas edited by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke
This multilingual collection gathers together more than eighty poets across territories spanning from Alaska to Chile. Singfeatures Indigenous poets both established and emerging, who are often underrepresented in anthologies. The result is a diverse collection of powerful voices, including some familiar names, like Louise Erdrich, Joy Harjo, Lee Maracle, and Simon Ortiz.
59. Gurlesque edited by Lara Glenum and Arielle Greenberg
Bringing together eighteen poets of diverse backgrounds, Gurlesque: the new grrly, grotesque, burlesque poeticscreates “radical, femme, Third Wave” feminist poetry by uniting them without depriving each of their own style. Like burlesque, gurlesquerevolves around themes of camp and kitsch, oftentimes turning them on their heads. The collection also pairs the poets with visual artists with the same rebellious sensibility.
60. The Norton Anthology of Poetry edited by Margaret Ferguson, Mary Jo Salter, and Jon Stallworthy
The Norton Anthology of Poetryis the perfect primer for a wide range of poetry spanning the ages. From Beowolf to Louise Edrich, it has almost everything you’d need if you were to start your study of the genre from scratch. This anthology provides over one thousand years of verse from the medieval period to the present. If all that wasn’t enough, it’s also a classroom standard in English.
