For more than twenty years, Richard Kostelanetz has been a consistent iconoclast and advocate of the avant-garde in American poetry.

Reports for 1980-19 also include the Annual report of the National Council on the Arts.
"Individual entries on Richard Kostelanetz's work in several fields appear in various editions of A Readers Guide to Twentieth-Century Writers (ed. Peter Parker, Oxford), The Chronology of American Literature (Houghton Mifflin), The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature, Contemporary Poets, Contemporary Jewish-American Dramatists and Poets, Contemporary Novelists, Postmodern Fiction, Webster's Dictionary of American Writers, The HarperCollins Reader's Encyclopedia of American Literature, The Facts on File Companion to 20th Century Poetry, Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians, Directory of American Scholars, Who's Who in U.S. Writers, Editors, and Poets, Who's Who in America, Who's Who in theWorld, Who's Who in American Art, NNDB.com, and the Encyclopedia Britannica, among other distinguished directories.
