In an attempt to bring this discussion group back to life, let me start with some suggestions. If anyone interested has any others, please post them. The choices are Billy Collins (The Trouble with Poetry, 2005), Sylvia Plath (Crossing the Water, 1971, Theodore Roethke (Sequence, Sometimes Metaphysical Poems, 1963), Langston Hughes (The Panther & the Lash, 1992), and Marianne Moore (Illusion is More Precise than Precision: The Poetry of Marianne Moore, 1992). If this shows any signs of life, there will be a vote/poll.
