HuffPo makes a list, checks it twice

Were you wondering what the 17 "most important" books of 2010 are? Well, you're in luck, friendo! Anis Shivani has made himself a list:

Fall 2010 has been a great season for poetry. There are important retrospectives of H. L. Hix's remarkable career and that of the leading Arab poet, Adonis; new work by exciting young African American poets Thomas Sayers Ellis and Major Jackson; politically charged poetry by C. D. Wright and Anna Rabinowitz; late-career flourishes by veterans Paul Muldoon and Charles Simic; engaging experimental poetry by John Taggart and Julie Carr; and solidifying entries by poets of international stature like Kamau Brathwaite and Wislawa Szymborska. There's much to be excited about, and these selections give a fair indication of the presses putting out the most important poetry of the day and the degree of vitality of various poetic styles.
