note-notice there is a near even break between men and women poets. I am not biased. When I buy an anthology of poets, there must be this near even split between male and female or I don't buy. I want to read the voices of both. No anthology of all woman, nor of all men. These days publishers are aware that they will lose sales unless they represent both. Listed in no order of preference.
