[New-Poetry] Kicking & Screaming

[AlMaginnes at aol.com]

This is a good question, Jeff. I have to admit that in recent years I seem  
to be moving in the other direction--suddenly left cold by poets who once meant 
 a lot to me. But to answer your question, I can think of a few right away:
 
Wallace Stevens--two English degrees and I never enjoyed his work until  
seven or eight years ago. Now I read him endlessly.
 
Albert Goldbarth--how could someone that prolific be any good? A source of  
unending delight for me these long nights
 
Czeslaw Milosz--heard him read in the early 90's and was intrigued. I've  
spent many hours poring over his work and while I'm not sure I understand what  
he's up to a good deal of the time, I return to him over and over.
 
I'm sure I will have some other names to post when I'm not so rushed.
 
Al
