If it makes you look cool, be sure to save it for when you're drinking coffee at a coffee shop. No need to torture yourself in private. I have some newer poets here, some Mary Jo Bang, Jorie Graham, a few others. It's mostly over my head--a lot of esoteric nothing. I really like Lucille Clifton (she was our poet laureate) and Mark Strand (he was or is too), but most of the good stuff I find lately, as far as new goes, is in literary mags like the North American Review or Boston Review, etc. One poet at a time.
There is a creepy poet you might like. Ever read Terry Stokes?
