You have more self-discipline than I! No way coudl I keep it to five or even six. Donne and Auden would be in there. Thinking along modern lines, I'm a fan of Brodsky as well, but probably only because I had him as a professor...gives me chills to read his work even now. I can HEAR him speaking the words! Same with Auden...somewhere I have audio tapes of him reading some of his works. Just amazing what you get from hearing the writer read their own work!
