Comprepoetica Biographical Dictionary

Comprepoetica BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY of Contemporary American Poetry

This file was begun 12 October 1997.  Some of its entries, condensed and perhaps otherwise modified, will eventually appear in the Comprepoetica Dictionary of Contemporary American Poetry, Poetics & Poets.  Both those entries used in the dictionary and those not will be kept here for the life of this site.

Note: some of the entries here consist of the raw materials of biographies only; due to the sitemaster’s not getting around to finishing them.  For this he begs the reader’s indulgence.  He would very much appreciate being informed of any mistakes any entry contains.
