The Pittsburgh Book of Contemporary American Poetry is a literary anthology of American poetry commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Pitt Poetry Series (1968–1993), one of the most prominent in the United States.
The book provides lengthy selections—about three hundred lines of verse—of the forty-five poets who were in print with the series in its twenty-fifth anniversary year. During this period, first under the editorship of Paul Zimmer, and then Ed Ochester, 156 books by 102 poets were published.
The collection was edited by Ed Ochester and Peter Oresick, both of the University of Pittsburgh.
