Hi Dave, one of the prerequisites was also the following:
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. <

That bit flew fast past my specs, Anny (smile)

Best

Dave

      With respect (and a friendly demeanor) this list certainly does have an agenda: it is 100 North American poets you should know, and, further, North American poets who have emerged from the late 1950's at the earliest.

    I thought about that when I saw the title, but then realized that James almost surely meant "poets whose names you will no doubt know" rather than "names you are required to know."
