100 Best Actual Poets in the World
Work in progress. This year I read in English over 1,000 poets from all the world in order to make the list, which is not yet a final one, maybe. With few exceptions, my research was dedicated to the actual, new, original voices in poetry, who could become important names for the universal literature of the future. If a major publisher will be interested by my concept, I will write short presentations for every poet and I will pick up 1-5 of their best poems.
PS
Unfortunately almost all the American and British poets included on my list did’nt answer my messages and I do not have their accept for this anthology. Maybe I have to try to look for an important literary critic from UK or USA to share with him/her this project.
