Yeah, Nausheen and Alicia were in the volume and deserve kudos. So does anyone in that volume. I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

It's impossible to read everything, and everyone knows that the "Best of..." series is going to necessarily be an exercise in "Poems liked by the Guest Editor." Still, I'd say it's not just the Jackson, his wife, and Lehman: he put his boss in there, too. And I think few would gripe seriously about the volume of NYU poets if it weren't for the other problems.

But, if you're trying to make a "Best of..." series, I should think you ought to work on broadening your horizons.
