We can only say thank you for a great poet and person.

The news seems to have silenced this list.

A very sad announcement for the BritPo list members, 

Lee Harwood (6 June 1939 - 26 July 2015) died in Hove yesterday morning.

A special memorial service is being planned in Brighton/ Hove, I'll have further details soon.

Well stated and fair, if high-level, treatment of the contemporary poetry scene. Of course each group could be sliced & diced into many sub-groupings. 

It made me think there may be a fourth clan: Amateur poets. Largely self-involved and little interested in poetry beyond their own writings, which are often memoir vignettes broken into baldly poetic lines. Often self-publishing and ready to read at any local open mike or poetry club that will allow them to hold forth. Probably larger by numbers than any of the other three groups individually or combined. 

One other observation: Even the 'mainstream', except for perhaps a handful 'break-out' stars, is nearly invisible in the larger contemporary cultural environment dominated by popular music, movies and television, social media, etc.

Abit too neat maybe, the three tribes thing, or is it? There are some poetriesand individual poets that do not fit in with the three tribes notion - hi therePeter! Going to read it again now.CheersTim A
