“I Wrote This For You” by Pleasefindthis (aka Iain S. Thomas) I’m not a big poetry reader, but I absolutely fell in love with this book a few years back.
It’s not Frost, but Paul McCartney many years ago, issued a book called Blackbird Singing. Many of the poems are the songs we know that are poetic and included a few poems that I never knew about. I read them to my daughter during her infant years.
Charles Bukowski. I love his raw sarcasm. His gritty outlook on life. I just like how he tells it like he sees it without using pretty words to take away from what he’s trying to say!
I really like Fernando Pessoa but I’ve only read his portuguese poems (he does have some in english) and translated poetry doesn’t always work. He basically wrote as several different people, so he adopted a new personality and writing style according to the person he was writing as, it’s really interesting. I really like Ricardo Reis, Álvaro Campos and Fernando Pessoa himself.
LOVE Edna St Vincent Milay
