Who's a good modern american poet?

Question

I have a project for school, but I can't decide which poet I should choose.

Answer 1

If you like rock and roll, try Jim Morrison's _American Night._

Or if you're feeling brave, try Allan Ginsburg. Warning: his famous poem, "Howl," and much of his other poetry too, contains profanity and is very often censored at the high school level. (How open-minded is your teacher?)
