Global Poetry Anthology 2017 is an anthology of Anthology poetry, translated by David Dabydeen, Global Poetry Anthology Staff, Kim Addonizio, Vona Groarke, Various, published by Vehicule Press in 2017. It is an anthology of contemporary global poetry gathered around a particular literary moment. As an anthology, it matters less as a definitive canon than as a record of simultaneity: many poets, many geographies, many ways of being current at once. I would not approach it as a book that needs to be solved before it can be felt. Start with the pressure of the title, the texture of the translated line, and the feeling of a voice making room for itself in English. For this library, the book matters as more than a record of Anthology; it is an invitation to let poetry remain particular, difficult, and alive without asking it to behave like explanation.

If you’d like to see international poetry continue and gain traction, consider requesting this work from your local library, or purchasing it from places like Open Books (a poetry only bookstore), Asterism Books (an independent press distributor), or bookshop.org to connect you with your local bookstores.
