Contemporary poets worth appreciating

1. writing a review seems like a lot of work to me.  I'll think about it.

2. one day I'll purchase Leanne's book and see what all the fuss is about.  I already expect it will be good.

3. how about putting some poet's forward that we don't actually know?  Anyone?

James Tate always works for me - any book, but particularly "Memoir of the Hawk."  Surrealism at its finest and most hilarious.

"Hip Logic" by Terrance Hayes is also worth picking up.  He has an adventurous approach to his style of writing, and he makes it work.  Might not be for everybody though.
