Probably not in high schools, but maybe in some public colleges when a hip teacher is present. Even though a majority of Buk's poems are more than acceptable to be read by minors, I can imagine that the local PTAs would lose it on the idea that it would make their kids want to read "women" or other non-puritanical literature.
I rememebr in high school we were taught about poetry and were told about Poe, Dickinson, Frost, etc. All of those poets that kids normally do not take a liking to were the ones that we were told about. never anything that would inspire us to read for FUN...

haha yes the "greats" have a way to put us to sleep, though i must say i am still a frost and poe fan.
interesting isn't it, that our kids are "allowed" to read one reclusive alcoholic over another?

True,
But it may take a certain maturity that those in high school may lack.
Not to say that Buk was low-brow, but it is certainly easier for the non academic to understand than Emily.
