Curious — for the poets, musicians, and other artists here

Who are your peers as an artist? By peers, I mean those who you see as covering their territories with the same love, attention, and intensity with which you cover your own. Living or dead, people you know or do not…those who work at the same level of intensity toward the quality and impact of the work that you do.

For instance…If I had to identify those I thought of as my peers, I’d be thinking of Sou and Bill Macmillan, Lea Deschesnes and Victor Infante, the gang from louderArts among many others. I think of those people (and many more here on LJ and elsewhere) as my peers in poetry.

Who are yours? If you can guide us to their work if you think we might benefit, go for it — link or post here.

I’m really curious, based on a discussion I’m having with a friend right now. Please answer if you can…love to know.
