This year is shaping up as one of the best in recent memory for biographies, anthologies, and collected poems and diaries of poets and poetry. I’m tempted to credit the COVID pandemic for keeping a lot of writers occupied and focused. But I know, at least in some cases, the work has been underway got several years.
Here are 10 major works published in the last 12 months, with most of them in 2022.
What tops my personal list is Eliot After The Waste Land by Robert Crawford. We reviewed it here at Tweetspeak earlier this year. It’s the second (and final) part of his biography of Eliot, and it’s every bit as good as the first volume, which was outstanding. The timing of Volume 2 was spot on – this year is the centennial of the publication of The Waste Land.
