[CALIBK12] Poetry biographies

[kjhein at comcast.net]

Other than Bloom, who covers many, does anyone have suggestions for biographies of contemporary American poets, high school level? One of our English teachers gives a big research project requiring print and online sources that asks primarily for biography (life, death, family, significant events), a little criticism (subjects, themes, writing style) and only 2 poems. I'm finding lots of "collected works", but little in the way of biographical resources. Expensive reference sets won't work because individual students have to check them out for a period of time.

Does anyone which citation style, MLA or APA, is used in the California Content Standards Test regarding citations?

Thanks!
