Saw the new Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry in Border's yesterday. I noticed they've eliminated Berrigan and Schuyler, without adding Bronk or Notley. We find Bernstein and Hejinian but no Silliman or Coolidge, if I'm not mistaken. Who in their right mind would think that William Stafford is a better poet than James Schuyler? Are Ellmann and O'Clair even still alive? Some other guy, whose name escapes me at the moment, has been charged with updating the anthology. I think he's the guy who wrote a PMLA article on elegy I read several years back.
