Looking to get back into some poetry reading. Any suggestions?

It's always good to return to W.H. Auden . . .

Shakespeare's Sonnets. If he had written nothing else in his life... wow.

 

[185248]

There are a few great aussie poets...some humorous...some not...Even Ned Kelly..bushranger before he was hanged said " Such Is Life"

Anyway, I recommend writing one's own poetry.

I love a lot of the french surrealists.

Andre Breton

Always for the first time

The spectral attitudes

Paul Eluard

Your orange hair in the void of the world

Absence

This is a great book collection:

Also, EMILY DICKINSON
