E. E. Cummings was gone before I could read.
long gone. As was Lewis Carroll of The Mouse's Tale. Last year I learned Frank Herbert of Dune and Dosadi was a poet. Earlier today I read that Thomas Lux passed on this February. The Atlantic of February ten online has an article by Jennifer Adams. What poetry guides your magic?

Among the dead, Stephen Crane tops my list, but Frost, Sandburg, Eliot, and Yeats are chasing him closely.

Shelley and Yeats figure prominently in the mythical infrastructure of my imaginitive life. Milton is on the horizon, appearing, then retreating like a desert mirage.

This thread brought "Paradise Lost" back up from the basement. Thanks Jon. I think.

Kipling.
Rod McKuen (I know, I'm not cool). Langston Hughes. (Maybe, a little cool.) Edna Saint Vincent Millay. Some of the poetry that came from the WW I poets - Sassoon, Seeger, Owen, Rosenberg, all brilliant. |
