Goethe

Ever since the Presocratics, really. Also playwrights and good poets in general, including the aforementioned Romantics.

My next tw reads are Brand and Peer Gynt by Ibsen. How are they philosophy wise?

>is there such a thing

Dude, are you joking? To be a serious poet IS to engage in philosophy. What are you really looking for?

>just stick with the Germans

Your list is good, but missing most of the content out there. Your Germans-only meme needs to die.

Where should i start with him? What is his philosophy about? I know he is Sadlers favourite poet because of his philosophy.

hit me with some good ones senpai

Start with shakespeare.

Auden calls Rilke the best lesbian poet since sappho

Is there a Veeky Forums poetry flowchart?

Major Poets:

Lesser Poets (or, Simply Lesser Known):

Good, but Perhaps Not as Philosophic as You'd Like:
>Sappho*
>Byron
>Bysshe Shelley
>Dowson*
>Pound
>John Clare
>Tracy K. Smith
>Carol Ann Duffy*
>Paul Valery
>E.E. Cummings
>Ruth Miller

I've put an asterisk (*) next to some of my personal favorites, but all of them have works worth reading - and there are many more if you just do a bit of digging. I hope you enjoy.

>note: excepting Glaysher, I've only placed poets I am well familiar with on this list. Other poets of note like Goethe, Rilke, Auden, Paz, Pessoa, Borges (his poetry at least) and so forth I have not yet read much of.

This is much appreciated user.

Frederick Glaysher is an utter twat. I used to interact with him on Facebook.

nice user, thanks

If you're just gonna start making up names, then don't even post.

I have never read any poetry before, what should i start with? I enjoy the dialogue in Tarkovsky movies, i also enjoy Beckett.

Is he? That's hilarious. I did think there was a strong chance he was a pseud, but his Parliament of Poets sounded interesting.

Np.

Here's, more or less, what I started with:
>Psalms & Song of Songs in the Bible
>Haiku & Tanka Anthologies
>Tennyson
>Yeats
>Sappho
>Eliot

Of course, I read all the usual suspects in HS (like Poe and Shakespeare, even Milton), and Shel Silverstein, Mother Goose, or other randoms (like Brian Jacques poems in Redwall books) as a child, but I'm assuming you're not 10 (perhaps wrongly), and I was unable to appreciate Shakespeare and Milton as a [foolish] teen. It was after I read (meme incoming) the Greeks and Romans, philosophy included, and the Bible in its entirety that I was able to appreciate those two much more fully.

But maybe that's just me.

No such thing really. Poets have a source in the primitive. In the pre-rational.

>t. dipstick who knows squat about poetry

t. Robert Graves

>omg he like totally name-dropped
>omg i must have been wrong and he knows like so, so much about poetry

Why are you going on like that?
