I will read some Ezra now despite the fact he clearly had something to do with 9/11... Also, I've only read one of Tyrone Dickindaughter's poems, the on called "Gibs me dats"- I liked it.

how much do you miss out on by reading a translated poem?

[Anonymous No.7124230]

>>7124216

If you asked about Chalres Baudelaire, I don't know how much you miss lol, but the translations I've read are amazing. Go and read "The flowers of evil". It's great.

My favorite is Gerald Stern. The other nine in no particular order would be:

Jack Gilbert
Philip Levine
Allen Ginsberg
Dylan Thomas
Charles Bukowski
James Wright
Yeats
Philip Larkin
and uh, Homer I guess

For some reason I have always felt unbearable ennui and uncomfort when reading any thing by Ginsberg, Bukowski or Larkin on account of their poems coming across as uninspired banalities to my perhaps uninitiated stare.

I also passively drifted through Yeats, Homer, Milton and Shakespeare as though I was simply rehearsing their songs because I felt it was "correct" to do so.

Are you seriously "ranking" your favourite poets?

Do you actually enjoy poetry?

Are you fifteen years old?

Welcome to /lit/ fellow redpilled lurker.

As a redpilled man myself I welcome you to /lit/ and hope that you will help us overturn this board even further. We have -- in collaboration with /r9k/ -- dished out quite a few redpills, but there are still Marxists, women-lovers, and nigger-lovers here which need eradication.

Spread the truth.

Yes.
I believe so.
No.

Addendum:
The post appears to be superfluous and I question the anonymous posters intentions...

Whitman imo has definitive free verse, also Pound and Eliot pioneered the mode during their era. Hart Crane is beautiful. Matthew Arnold has some free verse, as well as Dickinson's stuff and Wallace Stevens. A contemporary who does free verse well is John Ashbery. Really just look at the "defining" American poets of the late 19th and early 20th century, "vers libre" was all the rage.

As for favorite poets it's impossible to pick. I'd say the ten I come back to the most are
>Hart Crane, easily
>Walt Whitman
>William Shakespeare
>John Donne
>Thomas Campion
>Edmund Spenser
>Alexander Pope
>Andrew Marvell
>Ezra Pound
>Ovid

Hello Pol, weird seeing you here. I'll be sure to gas the kikes on this board whenever I can!

He has a point though. Everyone's just posting lists of names, hardly anyone's actually discussing poetry. Threads such as this, bookshelf threads, and "new purchase" threads makes me wonder whether this is board actually all that interested in literature or if it just likes the aesthetic of literature.

Also OP you're already reading poetry so I'm not sure this will help you much but here it is in case.

Really if you're only looking to learn new names your best bet is definitely to pick up an anthology, Norton's anthology of poetry includes a bunch of them.

[Anonymous No.7124370]

>>7124363
I'm on a lot of horse tranquilisers, but you get the idea of what i'm trying to say.

"LOOK AT ME I READ BOOKS, I KNOW A LOT OF NAMES, I OWN LOTS OF BOOKS"

as opposed to talking about the books' content.

[Anonymous No.7124407]

>>7124370
OP didn't ask for discussion, he wanted some names to check out. If you want to discuss poets, let's have some discussion then

[Anonymous No.7124413]

>>7124370


haha, I started this thread so I could go through other peoples lists and read a few poems of each suggestion... "Look at me I read books, I know a lot of names, I own lots of books" - This quote highlights your attitude, only a child would assume its about "knowing a lot of names" (lol) An adult would understand that its about enjoying coming across new writers that you would not have come across otherwise, whether you end up liking them or not.

[Anonymous No.7125939]

>>7124253
so what you're saying is...you really like Gerald Stern, Phil Levine, Dylan Thomas, and James Wright?

[Anonymous No.7125974]

>>7124268
you have obviously not been adequately redpilled if you lump marxism in with the rest of that tbh fam

[twinshia !b2E8KBMQGk No.7127449]

>>7124370
Would you prefer we did not know a lot of names, own a lot of books and read books?
I like to take in to account that there always be someone sour.
