This would seem notable and acceptable but I'm not entirely sure and the best I found was this and this. I'm not sure if can comment but I'll notify him anyway. SwisterTwister  talk  05:45, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
 * This does look significantly better than it did back in 2012. My main concern was the lack of citations, which are now present. Righteousskills (talk) 17:32, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak delete I find poetry to be very difficult because it doesn't get reviewed much so it's hard to have RS. In this case, there is one award (PEN), but I don't think that's enough. The other award was given by her publisher, so that isn't independent. That's all we have to go on, and I didn't find anything else of note. LaMona (talk) 03:25, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep LaMona is correct, contemporary poets are difficult because poetry has so largely faded to a minor or even fringe art form in the Anglosphere.  However, writing it has earned this poet university teaching jobs.  She has published with well-regarded houses.  There are 3 prizes on the page (including the one by the publisher in which publication probably was the competitive prize awarded).  And she does get some press,   io9 here:,  Boston Review here: , WFDD here: .E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:19, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
