Here is a list of books to consider. I enjoy each one of these and can not say one is better than the others.
1. Poetry International
2. Poetry Companion
3. National Poetry Review
4. The Best American Poetry - editor David Lehman
5. Mary Oliver, (Any of hers!)
6. The Art of Drowning, Billy Collins
7. Ploughshares, Emerson College.
8. Naomi Shihab Nye.
I’ll update this list on a regular basis!

I suggest Naomi Shihab Nye. She’s an amazing poet and human being and got a standing ovation of more than 3,000 listeners at The Dodge Poetry Fest in September. Check out any of her poems. They are on the web.
