Should there be a category for the "Atlantic" poet? Not merely someone who
crosses the Pond but who makes a conscious effort to transcend it. If so,
who would be most "Atlantic"? Gunn? Auden? Geoffrey Hill? Interesting
book called "Atlantic Poets" by Irene Ramalho Santos; she claims Pessoa for
this category!
