This article by Adam Fitzgerald boasts a superb and wonderfully diverse lineup of poets making their mark today. Support these poets by going to their web sites, requesting their books at your local library, purchasing their books at a local independent bookstore, (or sadly, if there’s not one), purchase from an online independent book seller.
To find a local independent bookseller in your area:
Search for local, physical indie bookstores or if there’s not one nearby, you can search for online booksellers as well.
To find an independent book seller, check out one of these great sites:
