USA Top Ten Poets

“The Top Ten Poets,” a listing based on hits at the Academy of American Poets. The ten are, in this order:

1. Langston Hughes

2. Emily Dickinson

3. Robert Frost

4. Walt Whitman

5. E.E. Cummings

6. Sylvia Plath

7. Maya Angelou

8. Dylan Thomas

9. Shel Silverstein

10. William Carlos Williams


Ha! I wonder what the equivalent Top Ten Australian Poets would be :-) Would the Auslit site compile such a list? It's not very Aussie, is it, measuring things like that. & poetry ain't footy, is it - no 'ladder' fluctuating during the season. But, if you'd like to post your Top Ten Ozpoets, I'll try to make enuff sense of it to publish a Top Ten in a coupla weeks or a week's time.
