Here's a Huffington Post article by Anis Shivani that I suspect will make thousands of readers very angry.

Though I can't say anything about the fiction writers on the list (since I haven't read any of their books), I do agree with Shivani's poetry choices. The work of every single one of these poets irritates me deeply. Also, note his distaste for Marilynne Robinson, whom he mentions briefly in the opening paragraphs. That makes two people in two days, and for entirely different reasons. Hmm.

I'll have to send this into the twittersphere in hopes it raises the proverbial hackles.

A thoroughly good read.
