I love poetry. I have a soft spot for classics. Frost and Emerson especially. I love Ada Lovelace’s “The Princess Saves Herself” and Robert M. Drake’s Beautiful Disaster
My great grandmother had a thing for poetry about flowers. She copied her favorites in a book and pasted in paper flowers to match the poem. It’s my favorite poetry book?
“The Best of It” by Kay Ryan and pretty much anything by Lucille Clifton, Wislawa Szymborska, Rose Ausländer, Jiménez and Mary Oliver. Rilke, Hesse, Lorca, Poe, Wardsworth Longfellow and the English Romantics are also always appreciated. Tyler Gregson’s Typewriter series has a few gems in it as well. But considering the quantity of poems he produces, he can be a bit inconsistent at times.

I’ve never liked poetry but I’d love to get into it. Any recommendations?
@Beth Go for an anthology, one that covers multiple poets, see if any types or periods suit then go for a more specialised collection.
