Classic Poetry Recommendations 

I love that Emily Dickinson poem as well. For me it shows that even small kindnesses are worth doing and can change the world or people's lives. I remember reading The Eve of St. Agnes in class. The language is definitely beautiful, though the main guy creeped me out quite a bit! haha Recently I've been loving Rainer Maria Rilke! I read Poems from the Book of Hours and the translation I read was by Babette Deutsch. So beautiful and with so many layers of meaning

I like Beaudelaire, Byron, Mary Oliver, and Longfellow...among others.

I still have my paperback book of Spenser's Poetical Works that I read in college for a course about Spenser. It includes all six books of the Fairie Queene, but the poem is in very small print. I vacationed with my family in Michigan's Upper Peninsula many years ago, where Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha takes place. I have two old editions of Longfellow -- one is Hiawatha and the other is of his complete poems. Both of them are very enjoyable reading.

I love this. You’re great!

I love poetry, I think. AE Housman moves my spirit - all that’s said in between the words, in the words. I was a soldier and I forgot some old feelings, but I find them in his work. I didn’t reenlist for a reason, but I would do it over again.

I just find your channel. I also love Emily Dickinson's poetry. Thank you for sharing this!! I also love Classical Chinese poetry. I wonder if you had read any of the translation of Classical Chinese poetry. 🥰😍🤩

Admirable selection. I would add a few poets to the list like Chaucer and Wordsworth..

Do you like Poe ? What do you think about 'The Conqueror Worm' and ' The City Beneath the Sea' , they have such an eerie quality! What instrument do you play? Then you must like Browning's 'A Toccata of Galuppi's' . One of my favorites is Lord Byron's The 'Defeat of Senacherib' , a poem about God's intervention in behalf of Israel. One last mention (although is German literature) is Heine's unforgettable poem set on music by Schumann 'The Two Grenadiers' ( 'what disgrace , captive, captive the Emperor!'). Do you know them?

I like children’s poets Raul Dahl and Silverstein and Langston Hughes

Can u donate for me plz 😂 I just love books ... thanks for the recommendation sounds interesting
