What do you mean?

Go with Poe

Come Around with Pound

Do not start with a shart

Poe is great especially given that most people are exposed to him in High School. I mean how many other writers you first read in High School still stand up as literature?

Start with modern/contempo amd work your way back

Shakespeare

...

Start with T. S. Eliot and work your way back. Don't listen to the fags who apply the Greeks meme to poetry. Your introduction to poetry should be lyric poetry in a language you can read, not epic poetry in translation as these brainlets are suggesting.

...

Start Smelling it with Eliot

John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester

Maybe start with Eliot, assemble a list of works he alludes to, go back and study all of them in depth, then return to Eliot
