Lol. Any good contemporary formal poetry MUST dialogue with free-verse: and visa-versa, I'd say. Free verse is the dominant form, after all, and I think all good formalists are aware of that whether they acknowledge it or not. So, I think discussing free-verse is entirely useful, whether we write it or not.
Beyond that, I like the Haines. I'd never heard of him. Will investigate.
