madpoetry

First lists, based on intuitions and hunches and also some of my faves:

Michael: Andrew Marvell, especially his upside down epics; William Carlos Williams _Paterson_; Marianne Moore's non-epics like "The Octopus"; Hart Crane _The Bridge_; Lorca's _Poeta en Neuvo York_

Herb: John Donne love poems; Jonathan Swift's poems for Stella; John Clare's mad poems; Adrienne Rich's _Notes toward a Common Language_ (is that the title? I mean the love sonnet sequence); Marilyn Hacker love sonnets.

Ana: Thomas Traherne meditations; Gertrude Stein, "Stanzas in Meditation"; John Ashbery's _Three Poems_; Lissa Wolsak; anything by Laura Riding.

aloha, Susan (who might add Dylan the list by tomorrow morning!)
