Great Regulars: To celebrate poetry month, and give

just a taste of the range and excellence found within 50 miles of the city of brotherly and sisterly verse, we offer profiles of seven diverse and wonderful poets. Get a sense of them in print, and then go to a special Web site (www.philly.com/poetrymonth2010) to read their poems--and listen as they read their works aloud.

They include a Pulitzer Prize winner at Princeton University, a senior about to graduate from Temple University, a Guggenheim winner who lives in South Philly, a Web-radio DJ and musician in Germantown, and a language poet at the University of Pennsylvania. So get to know them--and hear them on the Web.
