ANOTHER (POETRY) LIST

As I've said, every month is poetry month to me, but since we're nearing the end of the official poetry month, I thought I'd list (more or less chronologically) some anthologies (selections from many writers) that I like and have poems in, (some never published anywhere else), and including the one I edited as well: NONE OF THE ABOVE. Most are out of print, but if you're into poetry, I bet used copies can be found online.
