The best of the "best"

With so many "best of" anthologies out there, it's hard to distinguish the mediocre from the superior. That's why the folks at Jacket Copy literary blog have sorted through the slush to find the best of the "best" anthologies, and The Best American Poetry 2010 made the list:

From The Los Angeles Times:

The Best American Poetry 2010 (Scribner Poetry), edited by Amy Gerstler. Gerstler, who has contributed to The Times, writes in her introduction, “I badly want this anthology to be read not only by poetry fans, but also by famished souls who never dreamed they’d admire any text that called itself a poem.” There are poems from U.S. poet laureate W. S. Merwin, Sharon Olds, John Ashberry, Louise Gluck, John Updike, Dennis Cooper, Charles Simic, Derek Walcott, Adrienne Rich, J.E. Wei, Lynn Emanuel, Billy Collins and Terrance Hayes.
