(tastes in poetry) I really enjoy different manipulations of the language, different vocabulary, different line stoppages...I really just enjoy reading as many different ways of expressing just about any subject, honestly and thoroughly and sincerely
(impression of contemporary poetry) contemporary poetry, to me, is ecclectic...so many different strands that emphasize different moods of life....it is also experimental and not afraid to try forms never before really used or accepted by mainstream readers in general...
