Gluck was an unfortunate choice for a public position, for  there was nothing 
public about her poetry.  I thing Adrienne Rich or  Lucille Clifton would be 
admirable choices, not to slight Kumin or Kizer (both  of whom, I believe, 
were "poetry consultants."  Personally and/or  regionally, I recommend Fred  
Chappell.




Fred would be so happy to know he was being included in a discussion of  
potential women laureates. I think he'd do a fine job though. He was tireless as  
North Carolina's lauarete for five years.
