Description
Raised by Wolves is a unique and vibrant gathering of poems from Graywolf Press’s fifty years. The anthology is conceived as a community document: fifty Graywolf poets have selected fifty poems by Graywolf poets, offering insightful prose reflections on their selections. What arises is a choral arrangement of voices and lineages across decades, languages, styles, and divergences, inspiring a shared vision for the future.
Included here are established and emerging poets, international poets and poets in translation, and many of the most significant poets of our time. There are extraordinary pairings: Tracy K. Smith on Linda Gregg; Vijay Seshadri on Tomas Tranströmer, translated by Robert Bly; Natalie Diaz on Mary Szybist; Diane Seuss on D. A. Powell; Elizabeth Alexander on Christopher Gilbert; Ilya Kaminsky on Vénus Khoury-Ghata, translated by Marilyn Hacker; Mai Der Vang on Larry Levis; Layli Long Soldier on Solmaz Sharif; Solmaz Sharif on Claudia Rankine. In these poets’ championing of others, fascinating threads emerge: Stephanie Burt writes on Monica Youn, who selects Harryette Mullen, who writes on Liu Xiaobo, translated by Jeffrey Yang, who chooses Fanny Howe, who writes on Carl Phillips, who selects Danez Smith, who chooses Donika Kelly, who writes on Natasha Trethewey.
With an introduction by Graywolf publisher Carmen Giménez, Raised by Wolves is an echoing outward of poetry’s possibilities.

An excellent anthology featuring a wide array of poets and poems. Each poem choice is explained in a way that deepens your appreciation and understanding.

I’ve long found that high school students can find joy, insight, and love for even the most seemingly esoteric of poems. All they need to is find a point of entry. Maybe that’s personally connecting with the voice or subject of the poem, perhaps rejoicing in the feeling of solidarity that comes from learning that someone else has found the words to describe their own experiences.
One of the best ways, however, to help students find joy in poetry is to hear how important poems are to others—and having someone who is truly passionate about a poem walk them through it. Often I find myself to be in that position; others times my students are. What I found so wonderful about this varied, unexpected, and far-reaching anthology is that it was a collection of love letters to particular poems written by poets themselves who speak with an energy, warmth, and joy that is infectious. Each personal reflection about a particular poem is unique, but each of them leaves the reader with a sense of awe for what language in poetry can accomplish. This will be a wonderful resource for teachers but also for anyone who wants to feel that sense of exhilaration for how language can connect us with others and our immense universe.

What a triumph. I was so excited when this anthology was first announced, and I have been crawling my way through it as I simply didn’t want it to end. What an incredible collection of poems and what a joy to read my favorite poet’s thoughts on poems that have touched me so deeply. Graywolf has changed the landscape of contemporary poetry and I (and all poetry lovers) are better for it. Cannot wait to revisit this anthology again and again.
