This is for my English literature A level.
I am trying to find a contemporary poet whose work I like enough to study. Unfortunately, I know very few. My taste tends to be Christina Rossetti, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Robert Frost, Edgar Allan Poe, W.B. Yeats, Rudyard Kipling, etc.
I would much prefer not to study 'cutting-edge' poems that contain bad language and have little to no form, rhyme, or appreciable poetry in them. Free verse is welcomed, but I would really, really like to find a modern poet who writes true poetry, from the heart, rather than clever or disturbing poems that feel artificial and contrived. The poems I choose to study must be post-2000.
If anyone knows of any poets like this - even if they are quite 'cutting-edge' - I would love to hear of them.
Thank you!
