Hi Douglas, >what a glory the Schwerner books are because I have them, but many of my colleagues dont even know he exists < This may be a very fruitful thread -- if folk on the list were to post a single recommendation of a poet they have 'found' and who may not be generally well-known, as a means of spreading the word(s) and widening the horizons. Perhaps also including an example of their work . . . . on this point though, can someone clarify for me what the position is with regard to copyright and e-posting? Is it OK? Not having heard of Schwerner I would be curious to know more . . . My own recommendation would be the US poet Denis Johnson, primarily his volume 'The Incognito Lounge' (Carnegie Mellon University Press, ISBN 0887481760) -- which is also contained in his collected-to-date, 'The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millenium General Assembly' (Harper Perennial, 1995, ISBN 0060171804). Example to follow if it's cushty . . . . Andy %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
