I've added Gerald Stern's "Paradise Poems" to the list, as I threatened to do in the post, to keep the balance and, in fact, have about 7 more suggestions since this post went up which I will be adding later this week.<br /><br />I very much appreciate the close reading.<br /><br />thanks,<br />DonIssa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-1404168986378971522010-05-16T01:21:43.521-04:002010-05-16T01:21:43.521-04:00Not to spoil the party, but I found Rexroth's ...Not to spoil the party, but I found Rexroth's "100 Poems from the Chinese" listed twice. (The second listing is a little further down in the list, with the title spelled out, i.e. "One Hundred Poems..." The actual book gives the title as "100 Poems from the Chinese," the first way it's listed here.<br /><br />My suggestions for the list:<br /><br /><i>The Movie at the End of the World</i> by Thomas McGrath<br /><i>Hard Country</i> by Sharon Doubiago<br /><i>She Had Some Horses</i> by Joy Harjo<br /><i>The Republic of Poetry</i> by Martin Espada<br /><i>As Is</i> by Sheryl Noethe<br /><i>Eating the Pure Light: Homage to Thomas McGrath</i> edited by John Bradley<br /><br />A disclosure on the last item above -- the anthology <i>Eating the Pure Light</i> includes one poem by myself, along with poems by some 70 other contributors.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849270578857708223.post-11109163204344605802010-05-15T06:34:26.064-04:002010-05-15T06:34:26.064-04:00Jim,
