I had forgotten all about Billy Collins! Thanks for reminding me of him and I like Linda Pastan too "To a daughter leaving home" is my favourite of the 10 or so I've read of her so far :)

Alas, my class (and 20-25 page paper) is on Contemporary American Poets :) The sampling we had in our text was so atrocious I promptly forgot there were any GOOD contemporary american poets! We had to read Sharon Olds, and Mary Jo Salter who tries so hard to wite poetry she might as well have a great big flashing sign saying "Hello!!! Poem!" pointing at the page and an entire book from Komunyaaka who granted is a good poet but one can only read about war and blowing shit up and seeing whores for so long!
