Do you agree with number 1?

I like this list that a friend of mine posted of the 100 Greatest Writers of All Time.  Many fantastic poets are included along with some interesting facts and photography.  I like the Saul Bellow photo myself. 

A few excerpts:

Of Ezra Pound:  "Somewhere between the worst person who was a great poet and the greatest poet who was an asshole"

Of Emily Dickinson:  "She is in every poet we read, every word that is written. Even when she is not, she is there, in her lacks."

Of Ovid:  "Invented eroticism."
