Personally, I perfer Byron, Shelly, Keats, Yeats, Milton, Chaucer, Wordsworth, Blake, Burns and even Edgar Alan Poe. Frost, Shakespeare and the 1st World War poets are really good too, but I have to be in the mood.
That brings up another subject; who is everyones favorite poet? Mine is Lord Byron.
Shelley.
Not for his lyrical poems but for his political stuff. He was a revolutionary and early socialist.
His epic " Queen Mab " does it for me.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
