/lit/ Top 50 Poets

[Anonymous No.15489148]

FINAL THREAD

Previous: >>15474795

Enter your five favorite poets in the poll. Order does not matter.

I realize this will be a clusterfuck because there are different kinds of poetry, e.g., it's hard to compare Homer and Yeats, not to mention the monumental impact that the language in which a poem is written has on it. However, I think it's best to treat this as a sort of experiment, the kinks of which we can work out by then doing a poll at the end of every year along with the top 100 books.

A chart will be made so that it can be passed around on /lit/ and expose people to poets they might otherwise not have heard about.

We're currently sitting at just over 110 votes. Let's try to get to 150 before this thread expires.

Cheers, everyone!
