Who decides what a "dangerous" poem or poet is?<BR/><BR/>Seeking contributions for an anthology of Dangerous Poetry. Poets whose work is selected for inclusion will then write a brief (500-1000-word)essay on what makes poetry dangerous--their piece in particular and poetry at large. Is formal poetry dangerous?
