Will it be available on line? If so, post a link for us. I'm guessing that you found the book as willfully perverse as I did, save for the standards that are already available in any good anthology of verse. Oh, there were a few pleasnat surprises, but it seemed as if the editor's goal was to demonstrate what a dismal drop off there has been in sonnet quality over the past half century or so.
If it's any comfort, you'll probably not hear much, if anything. A couple of weeks ago the Seattle Times printed my scathing review of "Best American Poetry 2002," the most negative review I've ever published, and so far there's been nary a ripple of response from those responsible for that travesty.
