I haven't gotten through the list yet, but what I've read is pretty good. You might like it. Reading poems always makes me want to write some. We'll see if it takes. :-)
Note: language caution on "America."

I have long maintained that instant messenger is a good thing for literature overall because it gets people used to the fact that short lines do not a great poem make. :-)
Nevertheless, I liked the "nous" poem. More generally, I won't ditch free verse as a form altogether. I merely point out that it's incredibly hard to do well... I can't.
T.S. Eliot did free verse, and did it well. Chesteton mocked free verse, and mocked it well. I adore this. :-)
