BG: Teeth... Too close to the mark. GT: WWI vet. Compared with Arthur Rimbaud; high praise.

Quote:

Herbert Lindenberger wrote in Georg Trakl, “The lofty stance, the cosmic range, and the haunting music of Trakl’s poetry now mark him, with Rilke, as perhaps the last great representative of what could be called the sublime tradition in German.”

TG-Simple natural style, seems to be talking to you. Didn´t feel very confortable about the jains on account of the swastica, but Hitler possibly perverted the symbol

CC: A perectionist. "His poems are, typically, concise but intimate evocations of real or literary figures and milieux that have played roles in Greek culture." Candles: an interesting take on mortality.

Quote:

Voices

Voices, loved and idealized,
of those who have died, or of those
lost for us like the dead.

Sometimes they speak to us in dreams;
sometimes deep in thought the mind hears them.

And with their sound for a moment return
sounds from our life’s first poetry—
like music at night, distant, fading away.

https://www.poetryloverspage.com/yev...mont/deer.html

KB: Russian poet, translator, and activist. Passionate in life and politics: Prone to jumping through windows. Some of his poems have been set to music by Russia's best composers. The Deer, as translated is a sonnet, albeit imperfect, with sight and near rhymes and a form break: ABBA ABBA CDE CDC - wherein lies its charm.

.....

SO: "... the poet Billy Collins has called her “a poet of sex and the psyche,” adding that “Sharon Olds is infamous for her subject matter alone…but her closer readers know her as a poet of constant linguistic surprise.”" The Flurry: a visual feast. I also liked this poem: Take the I Out https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/take-the-i-out/

KP: The consensus online seems to be that the Orange Bears are the industrial workers, including his father, whose health is sacrificed (soot and slag, etc.) for corporate profit; in parallel the flowers are covered in soot on the sill. MJ: French poet experimenting in cubism/surrealism/symbolism. Interesting collection of poems; I liked BANKS, translated by Elizabeth Bishop, very much.
