McSweeney's List: "Unpopular Poetry Anthologies by Unpopular Poets"

When I want a fix of some good internet humor, I go to one of two places: The Onion and the Lists page at McSweeney's Internet Tendency.  I couldn't resist posting about this one: "Unpopular Poetry Anthologies by Unpopular Poets," especially since my last post was about an anthology with a similar strangeness to its concept and title. (My favorite is the second one.)

Enjoy.
