Looking for additional poets who belong here. Please add yours. Over the years, this image of the poet has evolved...beginning with the Romantic poets of Whitman, Dickinson, Emerson, Thoreau...into a social and cultural outsider who sees and responds to the contemporary world. It's a position of power and insight that gives poetry a motive and works for results...nothing so small as changing the world. Anne Waldman's new book OUTRIDER (La Alameda Press, 2006) asks the question...what is the poet and the poem today? How are they tied to the world?
