Gail,
This was such a good idea! A badly neglected poet, it seems to me, is Kenneth Allott, who is better known as a critic, but he had an interesting style that was unique to him. A new book of his collected verse, containing new poems of his that never made it into either of his two books, came out, I believe, a few months ago.
I'm sorry to have no quote to give you, but he is well worth looking up.
