Who is your favorite poet? What poem or collection from them would you recommend?
One of my favorite Emily Dickinson poems:
“Faith” is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.
There are too many, but judging by the books on my bookshelves: Rainer Maria Rilke; Lawrence Ferlinghetti; Gary Snyder, Mary Oliver.
@orange_girl We had her give a workshop to our writing group just two days before she won the Pulitzer Prize.
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.
