I'm not much for hierarchies, but I am a fan of overhearing what folks are reading-and I like to learn of new books that people have been loving each year. So, I offer my list at the risk of former, in hopes of the latter--that somebody might find something new here that I loved to get into. I know I missed a lot of books this year that others will hopefully turn me on to, too. Also a few books I loved that weren't exactly poetry: Inferno by Eileen Myles (O/R Books); Event Factory by Renee Gladman (Dorothy Project); and William Wylie's Route 36 (Flood Editions).
