    Rae Armantrout's most recent book of poetry, Versed, was published in January 2009. Next Life (2007, Wesleyan), was chosen as one of the 100 Notable Books of 2007 by The New York Times. Other recent books include Collected Prose (2007, Singing Horse), Up to Speed (2004, Wesleyan), The Pretext (2001, Green Integer), and Veil: New and Selected Poems (2001 Wesleyan University Press). Her poems have been included in anthologies such as American Hybrid (2009, Norton), Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology (1993), American Women Poets in the 21st Century: Where Language Meets the Lyric Tradition (2002, Wesleyan), The Oxford Book of American Poetry (2006, Oxford) and The Best American Poetry of 1988, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2008. Armantrout received an award in poetry from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts in 2007 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2008. She is Professor of Poetry and Poetics at the University of California, San Diego. Writing in Poetry magazine, Ange Milinko has said, "I would trade the bulk of contemporary anecdotal free verse for more incisive, chilling poetry like Armantrout's."
