[New-Poetry] Lists of Best Poetry Collections of 2010

[Bob Grumman]

My first thought is that even if these lists were compiled by critics 
with a knowledge of the full range of poetry being composed nowadays, 
they are premature.  The years has not ended yet.  My second, much more 
intelligent thought, is that the lists that ought to be compiled should 
be of the best collections of poetry published in 2000.  A minor third 
thought is that if the latter lists were said to be of 2010 collections, 
few would realize it from the poems in them (assuming topical references 
were deleted).
