Is there some stupid chart or something on how to into English language poetry?
I've read Eliot, Yeats, Kipling, and some other fellas, but I don't know where to go next and would like to work my way through all this stuff systematically.

Would love to see someone go back in time to tell Yeats that he would be considered a great English poet.

English language poetry is too immense and varied for there to be some simplistic chart to trivialise it.
