What poets are you reading?

Today my students picked some contemporary poets to study ( only criteria was that he/she was alive and had published at least one book). So...here goes, Sharon Olds, Louise Gluck, Ada Limon, Peter Covino, Michael Cirrelli, Gary Snyder, Denise Duhamel, Kay Ryan and others that I cannot remember right now. Hmmm...what poets are you reading these days? Ada Limon just got a poem ("Crush") published in the New Yorker!!! I love Ada, she came to read at URI via the wonderful Peter Covino and she is terrific, funny, and gracious. Go read her poem at www.newyorker.com /fiction. Oh and visit her blog, too. Link's on this page. Send me any interesting poetry stuff that is happening or that you want people to think about.
