How it works: Ten poets choose a poem of their own and a poem by another poet, who then does the same, and so on unto the fifth generation. Thus D. C. Berman leads to Charles Simic by way of James Tate, and other chains run through Mary Karr, Denis Johnson, C. D. Wright, Michael Ondaatje, John Ashbery, Mark Doty, C. K. Wright, Dean Young, Yusef Komunyakaa, and dozens more.</div> 218018 18 4 2007 The McSweeney's Book of Poets Picking Poets total:94|5:26|4:41|3:20|2:6|1:1| 94 367 157 20 5 1 false false Sat Jul 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 27 13:29:28 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 27 13:37:08 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Jan 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 31 08:30:24 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 07 13:46:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 1 0 false false Sun Mar 23 10:39:30 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 19:40:36 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 25 06:44:14 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 03 11:30:56 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 10:01:36 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 10:27:23 -0700 2009 why they picked that poet.
