News at Eleven: And some books of poems I loved:

Tracy K. Smith, "Life On Mars." Smith's book of elegies for her father, an optical engineer on the Hubble telescope, unites race, space, David Bowie, motherhood, the seventies, and vintage sci--fi, among many other things.

Dana Levin, "Sky Burial."

from The New Yorker: The Year in Reading: Poetry
then NPR: Find a Station: Poetic Perfection: Three Favorite Poems Of 2011
then San Francisco Chronicle: Best Poetry of 2011
