Ok, that's it, we're moving on. Here's the next round of Mortal Kombat V.
Brief instructions: Vote for your faves.
Here are more extensive instructions from the first round.
34.
Li Chi'ng Chao (Li Qingzhao) vs. 40.
Jim Carroll41.
Marvin Bell vs. 48.
Don Paterson 20.
James Wright vs. 24.
Philip Levine 26.
Kim Addonizio vs. 30.
Woody Guthrie Shut-outs from the previous 3-vote round were: Bell, Wright, Levine, and Guthrie. I think the Wright / Levine bout will be nasty -- and I mean that in a good way. Hey did you all know I translated a whole bunch of Li Chi'ng Chao in college? Jim Carroll is the coolest person alive. I'm really into Addonizio. Joanna said she breaks lines like me! (We rock.) I like how Levine breaks lines. I have a crush on one of his poems. I have Guthrie memorized. Opinions, opinions, opinions. Vote for your favorites. Thumbs up for all the poets!
