Michael Robbins, Professor of English and Creative Writing, has had his poem “Walkman” selected for the prestigious anthology, Best American Poetry 2018.  The poem was first published in The Paris Review, and was included in his recent collection, The Second Sex.

From Amazon.com: “Robbins’s poems are strange, wonderful, wild, and irrationally exuberant, mashing up high and low culture with “a sky-blue originality of utterance” (The New York Times). The thirty-six new poems in The Second Sex carry over the music, attitude, hilarity, and vulgarity of Alien vs. Predator, while also working deeper autobiographical and political veins.”
