With Poets Picking Poets, local literary powerhouse McSweeney's tries its hand at releasing a poetry anthology, with fascinatingly novel results. In the "poet chain," poets first present one of their own poems, and then a poem by another author — who in turn does the same, and so on, until 100 poems cohere into an elegant whole. Tonight, Jane Hirshfield, whose Given Sugar, Given Salt was shortlisted for the 2001 National Book Critics Circle Award, reads alongside Guggenheim Fellow and Iowa Writer's Workshop faculty member Dean Young.
