Strahan posted the ToC for his eleventh annual collection back in December here.
Under my new purchasing regime, I’m only buying the Dozois and Nebula Awards titles going forward, as a lifetime of buying lots of years best and other anthologies has the house (it is a big house!) bursting at the seams with an increasingly high percentage of stories in volumes not being read.
Here’s the ToC from Strahan’s site, with notes on the few items I did read – Strahan has spread his net far and wide!.
“Two’s Company”, Joe Abercrombie (Sharp Ends)
“The Art of Space Travel”, Nina Allan (Tor.com)
– “..Another strong, human story from Allan..” I noted in my review.
“Seasons of Glass and Iron”, Amal El-Mohtar (The Starlit wood)

“Those Shadows Laugh”, Geoff Ryman (F&SF, 9-10/16)

“The Future is Blue”, Catherynne M Valente (Drowned Worlds)
“Everyone from Themis Sends Letters Home”, Genevieve Valentine (Clarkesworld)

So, lots to keep the reader of SF & F happy I reckon. Depending on whether you are reading this on a PC/laptop, tablet, or phone, you will find either to the right or down below, a clickable index of all volumes in Strahan’s annual anthology, as well as links to all volumes of a whole heap of other anthologies, going way back to the 1960s. Enjoy
