[ Archive editor's temporary note : this POETRY section has been completed in advance of the BOOKS section of the archive. Most of the links on this 'Articles on Poetry' page reference material to be included under 'BOOKS', so during its construction many will return a 'File Not Found' error. All will be resolved in due course — see the archive's introductory page — SJB ]
