[New-Poetry] 100 Poets You Should Know

[TheOldMole]

Given that Jim perhaps should have said "North American poets" or "US 
poets" (though this might have been clear from the list itself) how many 
poets who came to prominence in the 40s or early 50s are still alive? 
Hayden Carruth is on the list. So is Gerald Stern. Are there any others?
