Wish lists & top contenders

Right now the top contenders from 9 wish lists are:

• 2 writers from the historical avant-garde
  • Marianne Moore
  • Djuna Barnes
• 3 contemporary avant-garde poets
  • Tracy Morris
  • Harryette Mullen
  • Terrance Hayes

If we could get two people to rally around each of these figures, then we can wrap up negotiations and move forward. I’m very excited about these selections, two of which I’m very familiar with, two of which I’m somewhat familiar with, and one who is new to me.
