How did I forget Apollonaire.
To clarify, you're suggesting that a pretty solid intermediate reader could tackle any of these?
I teach Marie de France (translation, of course) in my Brit Lit class. She's Anglo-Norman, so I think she counts. Also, I find her dealing with gender interesting when compared with, say, Chaucer.
This is a great list (all of whom I've heard of, almost all 19th-20th century I've read), but if you were to pick among these poets to give, say, a recommendation to an intermediate student, which would you pick?
