I love poetry but don't read it often, and would love to pick up some books of poetry I haven't read!

I'd especially love to find some female poets!!

You can search for William Yeats. He is very good!

Salt by Nayyirah Waheed.

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

I like reading walt whitman leaves of grass.

I like poems, anyone with great ones?

When I was in high school, it was recommended to get Best Remembered Poems by Martin Gardner. I remember liking it because there are ones I've read many times, and some I had never heard of.

One of my favorite poets is Ocean Vuong! I would highly recommend getting his books but if not just youtube him or search his poems online. They're so beautiful and really inspiring!

For a contemporary female poet, try Lang Leav. Love her work!

No recommendations at the mean time because i have not exposed myself to it nowadays

I think it's a simple as googling that. Google the best female poets or you could get recommendations on here too.

Virginia Woolf is a great legend of poetry.. I love reading her pieces.

Look by Solmaz Sharif

The BreakBeat Poets: New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop

I have recently read 'A loaf of bread' and it is excellent ..reminds me of old times.

Mine is “The Inferno”, where Dante is an interesting author and seeks help from others in the book!
