So I got an amazon gift card for my birthday and I was thinking of getting a collection of poetry. I already have all the romtanic poets and the recent hardbacks of John Ashbery. and all of Emily Dickinson. What do you guys think I should get? I kinda like depressing lonely poems. I can only read English btw.

uh, Sidney Lanier?
if you like Hopkins striving to create sprung meter, he effectively did the same thing at the same time, but as a Confederate Veteran that loved to play flute.

here's a sample

I'll look into Sidney Lanier. Only herd the name.

Looks like I can't find anything by that guy. What do you guys think of Robinson Jeffers, Frank O'Hara, Kenneth Rexroth or W. S. Graham?

They just published a complete edition of A.R. Ammons

Alvin Feinman's collection doesn't get the attention it should

Daryl Hine's Recollected Poems are superb and also neglected
