Honors for Ed
 
Ed Ochester's "Voltaire at Cirey, 1736" is included in "The Best American Poetry 2007."
Scribner will publish the collection next month.
 
Ochester's work is from his latest release, "Unreconstructed: Poems Selected and New," a recently published title from Pittsburgh's Autumn House Press.
 
The poet is the longtime editor of the Pitt Poetry Series of the University of Pittsburgh Press, which earlier this year released its anthology marking 40 years of publishing poetry, "American Poetry Now." Ochester was the editor.
 
Ochester retired several years ago as professor of English at Pitt, but continues to be co-editor with Judith Vollmer of 5 am, a poetry quarterly. Its latest edition is on newsstands and can be viewed at 5ampoetry.com.
Contributors include Micki Myers, Alicia Ostriker, Mike Schneider and Michael Estabrook.
