V, Reetika Vazirani to Virgil
Reetika Vazirani
No longer living & writing (she committed suicide in July 2003), but Vazirani was too young, too fresh a voice not to be filed here under Contemporary Poets. Paula Span wrote an excellent profile of Reetika Vazirani in the Washington Post after her death.

Janine Pommy Vega
She is among the Beat pantheon (but the women always get short shrift) & has a new exciting book: Mad Dogs of Trieste: New & Selected Poems (Black Sparrow). You can read her “Greeting the Year 2000, With Respect” in Poets on the Line #3.

David Wilson-Okamura’s University of Chicago site is the place to start, but if you really get into Virgil’s poetry, you’ll want to join Mantovano, the Virgil email list, or become a member of the Vergilian Society.
