QUEST FOR TIRE posted:I'm looking for a way to get into contemporary poetry. I like the accessibility of Billy Collins and Ted Kooser. The Best American Poetry series is good but a lot of the collections revolve around the incomprehensible. I really liked the Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. It's this huge collection of a lot of modern poets of all types. There's also an Outlaw bible of American Literature that I hear is equally awesome.

appropriatemetaphor posted:I've already read a couple of his books actually; If on a winter's night a traveler and The Nonexistent Knight/The Cloven Viscount. Are any of his other books or collections especially good? Invisible Cities is the only other I've seen mentioned with any regularity. "Cosmicomics" and "The baron in the Tree" are both really good with Calvino. I'm looking personally for an author that's similar to Mikhail Bulgakov. I really liked "The Master and Margarita" and "Heart of a Dog." It doesn't even have to be another Russian author, but I really like his style of writing.
