I've been ill, and that's why I didn't answer sooner. Can we do Yeats? (since Montale was a modernist, I guess "contemporary" is to be taken in its widest possible meaning). If not, I wouldn't mind having a look at someone from the Beat generation - Ginsberg, for instance.
you can choose anyone that's a contemporary poet...American or British would be best since we are just coming off a translated poet. q1
Still can't send you PMs!! It's pink and bordeaux, not red. Can I choose any poet?? From any country? Is it for the nominations? I quite like Bishop, whom you suggested. Larkin I love too, would that be possible? Apart from them, there are a few French poets I wouldn't mind studying (René Char, Apollinaire, André Breton, maybe Louis Aragon, Prévert,...). But I don't know if they are translated into English and/or easy to find in anglophone countries. Bye!
