Oh my God. You just reminded me about this. It is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.BnotAfraid wrote: ↑31 Jan 2018, 21:24 AH!, My soul screams to purge all the names I know for you!!!
Seriously I will list my favorites.. and why they are.
Sir Walter Scott: His short works can be moving and/or funny, nice rhythm to his work.
Lord Byron: Some of his works are capturing, you can get lost in them.
Emily Dickenson: If you read her well, you may discover she was not so different from women of today. Especially all the untitled works published after her death.
Billy Collins: He gets life, the discomfort, the depression, the awkwardness. The rebound to smiling.
AVA: She writes about abuse, touches your soul so we know we are not alone and we are strong enough.
Tyler Knott Gregson: writes about love, morning dew, coffee, missing a loved one. Train tracks. Saying words about the simple things in life. Reading Gregson, is akin to practicing gratitude.
Rumi- spiritual. If you are on a healing journey. This is the one. If you are looking for meaning, good place to start.
I hope this helps you and is not to overwhelming. I actually held back!
Peace

Woww! You have a great taste. It is a good variety of poets on your list and love that. I didn't try Gregson and after reading your views, I am planning to read him. As for Emily Dickinson, Rumi, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott, I totally agree they're great! I am a big fan of old poets, classic ones but reading about the modern ones, I am sometimes confused and don't understand where to start or whom to read. Finding someone matching your taste helps a lot.Johnny GoodFellow wrote: ↑23 Jun 2023, 15:47Oh my God. You just reminded me about this. It is beautiful.
