I disagree about John Ashbery.

  1. HI Frank,

    I like all the poets on the list, plus Helen Vendler too.

  2. Me too, actually, Rus. But I wanted to single out Ashbery in particular because he's not just any poet.

    Refreshing article. I have been trying to keep up with the poetry, but the author is right--where have we gotten to since Auden? Thought he was on target about Vendler.
