>Robinson Jeffers
Any poets similar to him in terms of themes and sensibilities?

Cock
Balls
Pee Pee boy
Walt Whitman
I haven't read other poets

can anyone recommend a good poetry compilation to pick up as a way to sample some of the greats?

Jeffers is too singar to be imitated. He's like Whitman if Whitman went crazy on Nietzsche and started seething about humanity. Frost has some cynical lyrics and he has the natural imagery but he doesnt reach the extremes of Jeffers

You have better luck finding it in prose. Loren Eiseley is as beautiful but a lot less cynical.

Jalla jalla

Broadly speaking, do you prefer Donne's younger work (Songs and sonnets) or his older work (progesse of the soul, holy sonnets, riding westward)?
I always tend to like his older work better. TO me, it seems more organized and "real". I say real because some of the Songs and Sonnets seem to not at all reflect Donne's genius and almost seem perfunctory, like Love's Usury or The Indifferent.

Nice, though he himself was pussy scum as were most of the futurists as apposed to chad mandelstam who was against the revolution and spitted in Stalin's face

Pushkin is the GOAT
Lermontov is great, although I hate depressed poetry it's beautiful nevertheless. His works about nature, wandering and dreams are especially amazing
Esenin's poetry is simple, but very sweet
Rozhdestvensky is underrated
Pasternak, Akhmatova, Mayakovsky, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam are cool

No Blok?

blok have only like 5% of good poetry, rest is shit. Mayakovsky have like 500 page of great poetry.

Reminder that mayakovsky was a pussy and, while a good poet (as for most of futurists, all garbage), sucked up the revolution like a little rat and killed himself like the low-T halber male he was while Mandelstam went down in history like a hero

Do you think this shithole has any actual knowledge of poetry? Just look at the names, kek. Anglos posting the 5 most known English poets, French posting the 5 most known French poets, Russians posting the 5 most known Russian poets. That's it. Literally a group of kids spitting in each other's throats.

Seperating art from the artist is a meme that needs to die. I can't enjoy phil ochs for the same reasons

Which post is yours?

Binding art and private life of artist is a meme that needs to die. If you are interested in the intimate details of celebrities, go watch fucking MTV

How is the person behind the art not important? I'm not talking about gossip but the creator of the work as well as his environment determines just as much as the work itself

In no particular order

Honorary mention to Langston Hughes

determines what? When you read Mayakovsky poetry, you easily can know nothing about his life. in this case creators personality determine nothing as it must be. I repeat, if you find it difficult to read a work without knowing anything about the creator, you better watch MTV.

same with prose

>French posting the 5 most known French poets, Russians posting the 5 most known Russian poets.
Can you provide any example for this?

?

Several of Emily’s poem manuscripts are tear stained. York University did an analysis to determine what had run the ink on them and found salt content etc. commensurate with human tears. Poor girl.
