Words, words, words ...
A bit of swashing the buckle never did any harm, eh Ophelia?
My current favourite under-appreciated poets: Georg Trakl, Jean Follain,
Quasimodo, Muriel Rukeyser. I've been reading Lorca again with the usual
astonishment and joy but I guess he's hardly underappreciated, although
in my three days subscribing to this list I've seen no mention of the
Spanish. I don't know 90 per cent of the names in these lists, let alone
the poetry, and will plead the tyranny of distance and my pocket money
being cut off for being a naughty girl. I'll list a few of my own to
follow up Douglas: new Australian poets worth looking at include Emma
Lew, Jordie Albiston, Jennifer Harrison. All women.
There are, of course, many others. Including the famous dead, especially
Francis Webb. But I suppose you all have read him.

How? Just asking. Unless they include EVERYBODY, which is impossible.
