Originally Published: November 08, 2010Publishers Weekly's top 5 poetry books of 2010
In the midst of their top 100 books of the year, Publishers Weekly has five poetry books, including Come On All You Ghosts by Matthew Zapruder. "Zapruder's third book," sayeth the Weekly, "mixes the kind of hip swagger he's known for with an increasingly earnest engagement with the people and things he loves." Two poems of hip earnestness first appeared in Poetry magazine, including "The Prelude." You can hear Zapruder read the poem—and Don Share and Christian Wiman talk about it—in the September magazine podcast.
