Just a few days ago, Ron Silliman posted a comment about a book
comprised of lists and comments by poets - as per the following:
(QUOTE) 'When, in editing the first volume of Poet's Bookshelf, Peter
Davis got some 81 poets to respond to his request for a list of
5-10 books that have been most "essential" to you, as a poet
and asked his respondents further to "Please write some comments about
your list," he got an awesomely, if predictably, wide range of
reactions.' (END QUOTE)
I would be very interested in hearing from p'etcers on their lists of
"essential books" - hopefully with comments. I'm still thinking about
mine - the list seems to change daily >g< but some remain stable. I'll
post my Sunday list this evening.
