THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS SEVERAL (VERY ECLECTIC) OF MY FAVORITE SITES WHICH I WISH YOU MAY DESIRE TO VISIT.----T.K.

If you are in a mood to "study" (though I strongly recomment people to do this OFF THE NET, 'cause REAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION rarely appears on the net), I recomment you visit:

# 1 Mr. Al Fireis' Homepage @ http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/home.html, which may be one most conscienciously built page by an American scholar, containing losts of useful information and helpful tips to the links for the study of modern American poetry(you can attend his lectures too!!).

# 2 Mr. Eiichi Hishikawa's Homepage @ http://www.lit.kobe-u.ac.jp/~hishika, which may be also one of the most helpful sites for the student of modern poetry, and Mr. Hishikawa is one of my colleagues in my project.

# 3 Mr. Akitoshi Nagahata's Homepage @ http://www.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/~nagahata, which contains also one fascinating information re: modern literature (in general) + contemporary poetry (in particular) + more., and Mr. Nagahata is one of the leading and exemplary young scholars in my field of study in Japan.
