Best American Poetry

Welcome to our list of magazines that had work selected from them for inclusion in the anthology Best American Poetry. This list is updated to include up to 2007. If we forgot a journal or if a link isn't working you can tell us in our comments.

People have asked "big deal, what does this list mean anyway?" Well we think it at least means these journals have had high quality work published in them at one time. It might also mean these journals consistently publish high quality work. It at very least means these journals have a credit in a national anthology. Great recognition and a pretty good bet on a place to try to publish your work.

The Best American Poetry Anthology was started by David Lehman in 1988. Every year the anthology picks a guest editor to select the poems. The anthology is hands down outstanding high quality poetry. It is for poets by great poets. You can visit Best American Poetry here.  Please consider supporting this publication each year. We mean buy and read a copy. Many wonderful publications like this go out of business far too often.
