Oh that is soooooo Leonard Cohen! I love it!

Once again, this is a fine shortlist list of poets, and I agree with others
that Gilbert is the obvious choice-- if for no other reason than to
recognize his status as an "elder statesmen".  I think people are finally

this book gleaned so far?  Would this be the third?
