[New-Poetry] 100 Poets You Should Know

[jforjames at aol.com]

I can see Alice Notley bumping onto the list...but my list is based on 'visibility' (which I'd loosely define as appearing on 
contents pages of major anthologies, media mentions,?book reviews, public readings, etc.) and I'd be surprised if some
of your other replacements, worthy as they may be, could bump a Gioia or a Jorie, a Dove or an Angelou, etc.?

Say it?ain't so about Hayden...I thought he was hanging on in small house in upstate New York. But, yes two?list
criteria are living and?U.S. based?long enough to be considered 'American' by most.?
Finnegan?

it's a good list there are a few people you left off that i would definitely have replaced Rita Dove, Billy Collins, and Ai with.?
?
Actually here are my substitutions?
?
Include:?
?
Padgett Ron?
Notley Alice?
Berrigan Anselm?
Eshleman Clayton?
Rothernberg Jerome?
Algarin Miguel?
