The problem with a list like this is that readers immediately start to barrack you about the poets you haven’t reviewed. Aiee! I probably don’t need to set down the reasons why reviewing 100 different poets would leave me (never mind the audience) exhausted, drained, and profoundly unwilling to take any more.
I also don’t need to discuss reasons why the 4 books mentioned here haven’t appeared yet.
