The Bibiliography of American Poetry told through the Pulitzer Prize [US]:
"[This] is a list of every book of poetry that ever won the Pulitzer Prize. It is, by definition, an American list. [...]
"I liked making this list because it focuses on books. Instead of focusing on 'superstar' poems, ripping them from their published contexts, I compiled this list by personally obtaining and seeing each of the books — most of them through the library. I was able to see the binding, the dedications, the order of poems, the signatures of the poets — all the things that make a book stand on its own two feet.
"So by focusing on the books I was able to see certain patterns — who's scratching whose back, which publishers keep winning no matter kind of crap they pump out, and what consistently gets ignored."
