Read Victor Infante's blog recently in search of poetry-related entries. And, after skimming various musings on the DC Comics superhero family, I found he made a reference to this article:

Don't always agree with Victor (as evidenced by my archives), but he's spot on to mention the absence of African-American poets from this listing.
UPDATE 12/21/10: Take a look at the comments section; Avis Shivani responds to Victor:
