Ok guys, here is the poll, if I missed any authors, please shoot me. Sorry for the delay, really busy and sickly. Nobody is allowed to vote for their own, so as to make this more smooth. We will have a running poll afterward for the short list.

Seamus Heaney - Human Chain
Guillaume Apollinaire - Alcools
Federico Garcia Lorca - Lament For the Death of a Bullfighter and Other Poems
Ed. Confucius - Book of Songs
300 Tang Poems
Lucan - Pharsalia
George Gordon Lord Byron - Don Juan
Alfred Lord Tennyson - In Memoriam
Holderin - Poems
D. H. Lawrence - Birds, Beasts and Flowers
Edward Thomas - Collected Poems

Basically, only vote for two and don't vote for your own nomination - I am not exactly sure how to play with the settings, so if you violate the rules, you will need to edit your choices or will just be ignored.
Whoops. I voted for three. Just throw out my vote for Tennyson and count the other two.

I've cast my vote. Things look interesting so far.
I just re-read my post from the last thread too and wow, I seemed really indignant... That wasn't my intention, but I think I came across as a jerk, sorry.
I missed the other thread, but I'm interested in joining. So I voted.
I have copies of the Byron, Lawrence, Eliot and Tennyson already, so I wouldn't mind re-reading them. But in the interest of exploring something new I've voted for Lorca and Apollinaire.
The complete poems of D.H. Lawrence were actually the first book of poetry I bought, from a used book store when I was around 13, I think it cost me a dollar.

Voted for Lorca and 300 tang poems. I wouldn't mind reading or re-reading any of the nominations though.
I have voted for Appolinaire and Tennyson.
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
Should we move onto the next round?
I suppose everything with under 3 votes is eliminated.

Do you want me to make the second poll?
So difficult to choose! I really wouldn't mind reading any of these...
Yes. Go to and let's get this show on the road. I'll actually have some time over the holidays, but this is taking too long. Post the second poll and then limit it to 24 or 48 hours and let's get going.Originally Posted by Alexander III
