She might be better known as a poet if she was less well-known as a novelist. I think her novels have tended to overshadow her poetry. (Which I admit I know only by reputation.)

Awesome. I like "I Said To Poetry" personally.

Yeah, "The Color Purple" might've pretty much cemented her as a well-knownnovelist instead of a well-known poet. I can see how her poetry would be less known because of it. But it is definitely worth checking out.

I would imagine that it's because her novels overshadow her poetry due to popularity/notoriety. I admit to not really being familiar with her poetry, though I have read The Color Purple.
The other thing is, all of the poets you mention produced work prior to 1950. You might make a better case comparing her to contemporaries. For instance, why does my Norton's anthology include Louise Gluck and not Walker?

Well, I haven't read many modern poets (I really don't know why). Alice Walker is the most modern one for me so far.

John Keats (Lord Byron)
wtf?
Keats and Byron were contemporaries, but hardly the same fellow.

She is one of my favorite poets (her stuff is amazing) and she's a novelist. She penned the novel The Color Purple, which was turned into an extremely popular movie. So why is it that I seldom see her. You see those sites that say things like "Greatest Poets" and "Greatest Poems" and all that other crap. And you see the usual: John Keats (Lord Byron), William Shakespeare, Lord Alfred Tennyson, Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Robert Burns, E.E. Cummings, Langston Hughes (occasionally), etc. But why no Alice Walker? I'm just wondering, what are your thoughts?
