3.0

Just read Poe, Dickinson, Frost, and Whitman and you can skip/skim the rest.

Some poets in here have one or two good poems displayed but most are really dull... not sure if it's the poets themselves or the selection by Williams. The British (+ Yeats, *cough* Irish) version of this is much better.
