[New-Poetry] 100 Poets You Should Know

[Bob Grumman]

Jim, are you asking for 100 international poets a poet ought to make 
sure he knows (as in a physicist should know algebra), or about 100 
international poets a poet is likely to have heard of (as in you should 
know where Port Charlotte Middle School if you live on the corner of 
Hayworth and Midway--since it's less than a hundred yards from there)?  
There is a huge difference between the two.  Your previous list had so 
few poets I think any poet ought to make sure he knows that I was sure 
you had to mean the latter.  And you have been emphasizing visibility 
rather than quality, for the most part.
