Ok, but he is doing what critics do, you have to be dead to make the cut and American poetry is to American Lit like a grain of sand is to the beach.

... No. Just no. I agree they are over represented on this list, but American poetry is essential to American literature. It is much more than a grain of sand on the beach and to say otherwise is blasphemy. Hell, Whitman alone is a beach unto himself.
I also think the list is a joke and this guy is a hack, but whatever.
