Elizabeth Alexander, Deborah Baker, Mary Jo Bang, Kevin Barry, Charles Baxter, Sven Birkerts, Eula Biss, Robert Boswell, John D’Agata, Percival Everett, Nuruddin Farah, Nick Flynn, Tess Gallagher, Dana Gioia, Albert Goldbarth, Linda Gregg, Eamon Grennan, Matthea Harvey, Tony Hoagland, Leslie Jamison, Jane Kenyon, William Kittredge, Ander Monson, Maggie Nelson, Per Petterson, Carl Phillips, Claudia Rankine, Salvatore Scibona, Vijay Seshadri, Tracy K. Smith, William Stafford, Natasha Trethewey, David Treuer, and Brenda Ueland.
