What are the criteria for determining an "Establishment" vs a "Non-establishment" poet?

    A few weeks ago we were talking about Paglia's Break, Blow, Burn, and her claim to have
    sought out poems off the beaten track of traditional anthology's tables of contents. Well
    here's a book that really does that: Dark Horses: Poets on Overlooked Poems. It's an eclectic
    collection and the editors certainly tried to cover the aesthetic waterfront.
  One maybe visual poem by a big-name visual artist is nice but I bet all the poets asked to pick a poem were Establishment poets.
