Berman's Poet Nicknames

With NFL training camps still a few weeks away from "kicking off," Chris Berman, ESPN's self-annointed football swami, was kind enough to take some time to email me his "top ten" contemporary American poet nicknames. I'm not sure why the list goes to thirteen. Is he two-upping Nigel Tufnel? Alluding to Wallace "Even" Stevens? I didn't ask.

John "Lightning And" Ashbery

Charles "Burn, Baby," Bernstein

Louise "I'm Rubber, You're" Glück

Lisa "Anecdote Of The" Jarnot

Michael "Hi, I'm Troy" McClure

Laura "Call Me Dean" Moriarty

Eileen "I Can See For Miles And" Myles

Alice "She Loves Me, She Loves Me" Notley

Hoa "You Know, You Just Can't" Nguyen

Linda "The Past Is" Pastan

Kit "Here's To You, Mrs." Robinson
