What sort of poetry do you read?

And who are your favourite poets?


I am wondering what sort of diversity we have, I have no doubt most of you are much more well versed (hehe) in poetry than I am.

I don't read that much poetry. I enjoy some of the romantics, like Byron, Shelley and particularly Blake. However I love the poetry of Rimbaud, as well Baudelaire and some other 'symbolists', I have read some Surrealist stuff that I liked but I couldn't tell you the author or title, I quite enjoy modernist poetry too, mostly Eliot and post-modernist 'beat' poetry, mainly Ginsberg. I quite like free verse, or just poems that don't have a rigid rhyme scheme.
