Best American Poetry 2006

I found this shaky, amateur video of David Lehman's introduction to the Best American Poetry 2006 event that I attended on September 21, 2006.

In it he mentions the controversy surrounding the publication, as well as his decision to select Billy Collins to be the 2006 guest editor.

The quality of the vid isn't great but it's interesting nonetheless. I'll also post Billy Collins' intro soon.

I've updated my Blooger account to be part of the new Blogger Beta and I'm having problems posting YouTube videos on this blog so in the meantime, I'll have just have to provide the links.
