Who is your favourite poet?

Rilke

This guy

Yeats is pretty fucking good

Hart Crane
He's not the best poet I've ever read, and some of the things I've read by him still have me scratching my head, but he's my personal favourite.

Uptake with the Blake

Based.

Good choices. Favorite? I don't know, Rilke comes very close. I loved Stevens till I read Crane. Today I say Pessoa.

Homer

Li Yang-shin

And my autistic brain can't even type his name right apparently. Li Shang-yin.

...

These kind of threads always end up with americain and british poets; so here's Apollinaire.

mussolini grew a moustache and became a poet?

What's wrong with that ?

I couldn't decide, but I do love Richard Yates.

My boy Rimbaud.

Robinson Jeffers

To Emily Dickinson

You who desired so much--in vain to ask--
Yet fed you hunger like an endless task,
Dared dignify the labor, bless the quest--
Achieved that stillness ultimately best,

Being, of all, least sought for: Emily, hear!
O sweet, dead Silencer, most suddenly clear
When singing that Eternity possessed
And plundered momently in every breast;

--Truly no flower yet withers in your hand.
The harvest you descried and understand
Needs more than wit to gather, love to bind.
Some reconcilement of remotest mind--

Leaves Ormus rubyless, and Ophir chill.
Else tears heap all within one clay-cold hill.

By H.C.

good poem hart

Amazing.

thanks, have another

At Melville's Tomb
Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
An embassy. Their numbers as he watched,
Beat on the dusty shore and were obscured.

And wrecks passed without sound of bells,
The calyx of death’s bounty giving back
A scattered chapter, livid hieroglyph,
The portent wound in corridors of shells.

Then in the circuit calm of one vast coil,
Its lashings charmed and malice reconciled,
Frosted eyes there were that lifted altars;
And silent answers crept across the stars.

Compass, quadrant and sextant contrive
No farther tides ... High in the azure steeps
Monody shall not wake the mariner.
This fabulous shadow only the sea keeps.

-Harold

This old queen.

His writing is so rich and humane.

>Monody shall not wake the mariner.
I almost got this tattooed on my shoulder blade one night when I was out drinking with friends.

If there's a photograph of your favourite poet, your taste is garbage.

come again

I’m a poetry open tbqh, but I really like what I have read by T.S. Eliot, the wasteland and Prufrock. I also enjoyed Leaves of Grass. What would you guys recommend I try?

THIS man is fucking handsome holy shit

the sun fucked his face

I was going to post Rilke. I've been really big on him lately.

The next poet I can't get enough of is Neruda

*Blocks Wittgenstein's comprehension*

Read Hart Crane.

Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Tucholsky

What? Why does he talk like that?

This fancy boy, read Lycidas it's the best major Milton poem that doesn't have Paradise in the title.

He looks like the minister of public works in a short lived government of a CIA-backed regime of a central american country, ca. 1966.

your mom looks like the minister of public works in a short lived government of a CIA-backed regime of a central american country, ca. 1966.

G. Apollinaire de K. sera pour toujours le prince des poètes.

>till I read Crane
Why did this change your view of Stevens?

Can you post some of your favourite Rilke poems please? Granted that my German isn't amazing but I fail to see why his poetry is considered so great, maybe you can point me in the right direction.

Its just a very flattering photo, bear in mind that my pic related is also Rilke.
