hey /lit/. can anyone recommend me some good modern poets. inb4 poetry isn't literature, no shit.

anyways, looking for recommendations of good modern poets or poetry anthologies. recently i've really been enjoying dark depressing themes, but anything will do. whatever you'd like to share

>>	STLFag !IeX.oK0HUk Sun Dec 26 02:34:05 2010 No.1392958 I'm interested as well, but honestly, I think you're picking the wrong time for this thread. /lit/ is slow enough during peak hours, and poetry is sort of underrepresented here anyway. At this time of night... well, good luck.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 26 02:42:05 2010 No.1392966 >>1392939 just an fyi poetry is considered literature when it is part of a body of works from a certain culture. ex: english literature has poetry as well as prose

pretty shocking that it's slow enough to take this long for any replies. i don't know /lit/ though so i don't know what's usual and what isn't. even took this long for a troll to rear his ugly head >>1392960

i'm sure i am pathetically late, and she isn't necessarily modern, but i recently was introduced to Sylvia Plath who I am really enjoying, so if you are in fact interested as well, and haven't heard of her, you might enjoy her.

sorry, i lurk /mu/ mostly, and they are super sticklers for categorization, and literature has a stigma of novels in my experience, and that's completely wrong, but i then expanded it to just mean lengthy text.

anyways, rather than correcting definitions, recommendations would be much more appreciated

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 26 03:06:05 2010 No.1392982 Dylan motherfucking Thomas for sure. Ginsberg, TS Elliot, Bukowski and ee cummings are worth a read too.

>>	STLFag !IeX.oK0HUk Sun Dec 26 03:06:05 2010 No.1392983 I'm not really sure how "modern" you're looking, but there's a National Book Award for Poetry for a reason.
