Yr esteemed sir,
I have, for a while, been toying with an idea for a book, to be called
Modernism and its Discontents: Poetic Reactions Against the Rise of Free Verse in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries, with chapters to cover CAS, HPL, REH, DSF, among the better-known to this group, as well as poets such as Hugh McCrae, James McAuley, Christopher Brennan, and so on, among those that aren't. I must add that McCrae is a writer of weird verse that would be very much of interest in CAS' less cosmic verse.
Anyway, I would appreciate your advice concerning other poets to consider, especially those that you consider as major figures in the traditions of formalist verse.

Phillip
