Neighbor poets to the Berkshires

By including just three close neighbor poets, Taylor, Millay, and MacLeish we so expand the bounds of our discussion that it would be foolish not to name them honorary Berkshireites.
Taylor takes us to the very dawn of American poetry, MacLeish to the dawn of its impressment by the Establishment, and Millay adds an essential je ne sais quoi!
