Contemporary Coleridge

[moebean]

Hi, I'm looking for a contemporary poet who deals with romantic metaphor and particularly the concept of pre-existence as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth's work centered on. Anyone have any poets they would recommend I research? Grateful for any feedback. ~Maureen

Percy Shelley is another romantic poet

Sorry I should have been clearer, works written within the last 100 years or so.

Poetry is atemporal, and anything outside the poem are just random circumstances.

That said, maybe you can fin in T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets" what you are looking for. It's from 1942.

Do you want only in english? Maybe the closer thing is Yeats
