Have you ever put a brick through a big plate-glass window, Ralph? It makes a wonderful goddamn noise, and the people inside run around like rats in a firestorm. It's fun, Ralph, and a bargain at any price. - Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw JournalistOriginally Posted by Nikonani

Laure-Anne Bosselaar is a contemporary American poet. Although, shes also an immigrant.
I really appreciate all the replies here.
How dare you!!!

I suppose I dare to say I don't like Plath or Neruda because I don't like them. Should I be worried about some academic canon police paying me a visit?

I don't like Sylvia Plath either, she is at best mediocre.

we have come to this: the crisis of our lives'
Might have to agree about Sylvia Plath. But Neruda??? *clears throat*...
How dare you!?!?
(Maybe a little biased).

Katie Tempest in England has won a large (young) audience at the moment, and a large amount of poetry is performed rather than published at the moment following the resurgence of Slam Poetry in the last 15 years. Poetry magazines are still going - in the UK, Rialto and Poetry Review are still printing poems worth reading. The problem is finding collections that sustain themselves. Pamphlets have been in for the moment, and the problem is that a lot of the first collections contain extracts from the pamphlets, which browns off the purchaser who end up with duplicates.
I am still going to tout Troy Jollimore.
