As I explain in a post to the Mole yesterday, a Wilshburian is a poet or 
reader of poetry confined to the Wilbur-to-Ashbery segment of the 
contemporary American poetry continuum.  Generally, the Wilshburian 
mistakes this segment for the whole of the scene, and is proud of his 
broadness of taste.
