I am trying to get more into poetry so I’m wondering what poets you recommend?
Shelley and Coleridge are my favourites.
Christina Rossetti, Pablo Neruda and Walter de la Mare are my favourites.
I just read 3 books by Emily Byrnes. I’m not a huge fan of poetry but these were really good. And they are on kindle unlimited
I’m more of a beat poetry kind of person, so Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Carlos Williams just to name a few. 🙂 The latter wasn’t really a beat poet himself, but he did inspire them.

I think poems are like novels, it depends on what you’re into. Whats a genre that you enjoy? For example, if you like world views Maya Angelou is a prime example and if you like something darker and more intense than Edgar Allan Poe is a good place to start. And both are amazing in their own right

There must be something in the air at the moment. Just talking about this over on another page.
I love John Betjeman’s poetry. A lot of it is fun and light-hearted. A great expample being Slough (will mean more to the English in the group) which I still remember some of from learning it at school.
A.Lorde is my go to.
Charles Bukowski. He is raw, gritty, and packed full of emotion.
