Who is your favorite poet? What poem or collection from them would you recommend?

But microscopes are prudent

In an Emergency.

Erin Hanson is a young Australian poet with some truly impressive work. She has several short anthologies out, complete with her own quirky artwork. She is by far my favorite even when compared to the classics.
