Maybe this list is the poets I have read...(the ones in bold) when I have googled them looking for more information. I haven't read much poetry, so it is surprising to me to see that I have read collections from at least half of the poets on this list!I have also read Margaret Atwood (most recently) and Pablo Nerada. And shocking to say to some, but I have no idea who the last one is...at all! D'oh!

I was pretty sure that was who WCW was, but I googled it just to make sure. :)
My first time here; will return for book news...
I was shocked Atwood was not on that list. Seems I go to poets.org every other day looking for her! Before it even registered who atwood was I fell in love with Into the Secular Night... and of course A Photograph of Me... and then again there is Morning in the Burnt House..,
