The Best of It. New and Selected Poems.
New York: Grove Press, 2010. Third Printing of the First Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine priceclipped dust jacket. Ryan’s tightly compressed, rhythmically dense poetry is often compared to that of Emily Dickinson and Marianne Moore; however, Ryan’s often barbed wit and unique facility with “recombinant” rhyme has earned her the status of one of the great living American poets, and led to her appointment as U.S. Poet Laureate in 2008.
