poets and plays
Swiped from truepenny; originally from oursin ...
What poets do you have on your shelves? For the purposes of this list, they should be there by your choice (as opposed to being texts for courses, etc) and be either the collected or selected works of one single poet (anthologies and collections do not count, nor do Selections from Works which include, but do not consist exclusively of, poetry).
Like Truepenny, I must divide my poets list into two parts: Part I consists of poets whose work I originally acquired for a class (or for the Master's Exam) but have kept because I like it - as opposed to, for example, Wordsworth or Pound. Part II is the poets whose work I've acquired on my own.
