Like Lawrence's suggestion of buying in resources for the library.
That seems most crucial of all long term strategies.
I'd buy Poems for the Millenium Vol 1, Conductors of Chaos, Out of Everywhere,
The Faber Book of Twentieth Century Scottish Poetry.
Like Caroline's suggestion of MacLow's 'Representative Works', what a
terrific primer for procedures.
other entrants for a stretch
Eric Havelock's 'Preface to Plato', in connection with Frances Yates' 'The
Art of Memory' and 'Irving Goffman's 'Frame Theory'
Bakhtin's 'Rabelais and his World'
Doug Kahn and Gregory Whitehead's (ed.) 'The Wireless Imagination'
Michel de Certeau's 'The Practice of Everyday Life'
Susan Howe's 'My Emily Dickinson'
Scott McLeod's 'Understanding Comics'
Daniel Spoerri's 'An Anecdoted Topography of Chance'
and yes to Monographs -
CDs - well there isn't that much (yet)
it's almost a seperate discussion - I can post a list if you're interested
I do take it we're not just talking about poetry here, but about writing.
As a differing stimulant try Tom Leonard's 'Reports from the Present' -
which too few seem to cite, or even have read. It's a broad, humane,
collection of conceptual addresses, poetics, poetry, prose, reportage and
it gets you going as to the applications and the trajectories for
contemporary writing.
