Bill, I'm not familiar with the book you mentioned on Steele, but I'll look for it.
David, I agree that The Color Wheel is a fine collection, too, with some memorable poems ("Eros," "Walking Her Home," "Woman in a Museum," etc.) And you're right that Robinson should be on the list. (And, I think, Jeffers, Dylan Thomas, Houseman, and even Bob Dylan, though he famously said he wasn't a poet, but more of a trapeze artist.) But for my second pick, I'm thinking of another Californian.
