(poets of yesteryear important to respondent)

WCW
TS Elliot
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(critics important to respondent) real people, some poets become too intellectually minded to be no earthly good.
(tastes in poetry)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
for me, poetry must create a picture, an emotion a feeling
in words. I prefer free verse, Haiku, I have a tendency to become
bored if the poem is too long however Elliot and Ginsberg are ok.
I guess I like all kinds of poetry but I shy away from blatant sexual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(description of criticism) I guess you can say "defamiliarization" by Tolsky.
(sample of respondent's criticism) no
(criticism feedback) no
(impression of contemporary poetry) I like it. It is accessible.
(zines, etc., that ought to be listed in the dictionary)

Pemican, Seattle Review, Billigual Review, Black Bear Review,
The Beloit Poetry Journal, The Wormwood Review, Tamaqua, International Quarterly
Pearl, ZYZZYVA, The Kenyon Review, Puerto del Sol, Blue Mesa Review etc.
