A near-perfect establishment view of the Contemporary American Poetry 
Scene: my guess is that around 90 of the blogs are Wilshberian; 
Silliman's in to represent Language Poetry, but not even Geof Huth is 
allowed to represent Visual Poetry.  Nice that some New-Poetry people's 
blogs got mentioned (deservedly).

Hey, I remember corresponding with the Cosmopoetica guy--never knew it 
was Chris.  I was always confused by the name because very similar to 
Dan Schneider's blog (which, incidentally, I consider mostly moronic but 
certainly deserving to be on the top 100 list because it gets lots of 
visits, and because it has to be admitted it expresses a point of view 
you won't find anywhere else).
