Anselm Berrigan, Zero Star Hotel (Edge Books, 2003).Here’s my list, which, again, is conceived not so much as a “best” list (though it certainly might be what someone’s would look like), as a selection intended to introduce someone to the variety of work out there and the different directions in which it might lead one eventually to expand one’s collection.

I couldn’t agree more with Jonathan that Own Face is an indispensible book of poetry (I would make the same claim for at least half of everything else Coolidge has written), and that “Beyond,” which he (just slightly mis-) quotes, is one of the best poems in it:
