Poets to (Re)Read

Sunday 4 February 2018

Justin

I came up with this list of poets to become acquainted or reacquainted with, a few classic, several moderns, and many contemporaries.  A good way to do this is fine  “Selected Poems” volume for a poet, and see what’s there. 

I’ve got a long way to go on these, but that’s OK!
