to do it again, so here I go. But this time, I'm not following the rules, because it is shameful how few contemporary poets I read who don't have a blog that I read as well.

So, here's the unrestricted list (although a few do still fit the rules)

1. Lelani Hall
2. Lucile Clifton
3. Simone Muench
4. Aimee Nezhukumatathil
5. Peter Pereira
6. Paul Guest
7. Jeannine Hall Gailey
8. Kristy Bowen
9. Neruda
10. Ted Hughes
11. John Wood
12. Brandi Homan
13. Edna St. Vincent Millay (I know, not contemporary, but she's the one who made me fall in love with poetry, so she makes the list. So there.)

It goes without saying that I would recommend Prairie Fever, if for no other reason than I can say "I know her!" : )
