Hermann Hesse

I like "In the Mist" the best of this collection.

Hailey Leithauser https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...ley-leithauser She's very contemporaneous with me.

With me too. I like her poems. I´ll have to take a better look at these poets.

Louisa May Alcott

I like her "Fairy Song" poem.

Anne Bradstreet http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets...adstreet/poems

I realise how few poets I know.

Beautiful voice; a most tragic life.

Salvatore Quasimodo http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/street-in-agrigentum/

Interesting poem!

Quincy Troupe
http://www.aaregistry.org/historic_e...-quincy-troupe

Must have been embarrassing to give up his CA poet laureate position. I read Poem for My Father which had a surprising use of language in a conversational tone about his Father's baseball years. .

Ted Hughes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Hughes

A dark life story!

Henry James

James Thurber https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Thurber

Thomas Wolfe

William Saroyan ... https://www.nytimes.com/books/first/...n-saroyan.html

^{Interesting article. Going back to it later}

Sinclair Lewis

Lorna Goodison ... http://bombmagazine.org/article/2533/four-poems

I like "The yard man"

(João) Guimarães Rosa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo%C3%...r%C3%A3es_Rosa

I read the wikipedia summary of "The Devil to Pay in the Backlands". It's a shame the English version loses the spirit of his writing; still, I may order a copy to borrow.

Richard Jones I like "Sacrifices" of the 6 poems I read: http://www.poemhunter.com/richard-jones/ ; a very folksy style of writing employed.

http://www.wordswithoutborders.org/a...guimaraes-rosa. It is the great Brazilian ephic. This one seems to be a good translation, one can read the opening paragraphs). But don´t read the one in internet by a certain Martinez. I had a look, it is awful

Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juana_...A9s_de_la_Cruz

Thank you for the translated snippet! Back to Sor Juana - she was a remarkable person and should be praised on high. Prolly would have been burned at the stake in Spain. Enjoyed "To Her Portrait"... http://www.poemhunter.com/sor-juana-...la-cruz/poems/

Going to go with a "C" name...

Charles Baudelaire

You´re right. And Mexico in the 18th Century must have been very provincial
'Tis death, tis dust, tis shadow, yea, 'tis nought.' if I remember rightly from University days this is a typical barock ending.

Bernhard Shaw

Sara Teasdale ... http://www.poemhunter.com/sara-teasdale/ I read "There Will Come Soft Rain" and will return to read many more.

I liked it too, but enjoyed most "Sacrifices" by Richard Jones. One gets the feeling what winter in the northern hemisphere is like

Torquato Tasso
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torquato_Tasso

Incredible life Tasso led... and oh what might have been had he not been afflicted. The poem you cited "Sacrifice" by Richard Jones is incredible. Our winters in the California Sierra Foothills (Gold Country) can be quite severe and our wood stove serves us well. I think I latched onto Sara Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rain" because I have been listening to the "Martian Chronicles", an audio book, and it has a short story by the same name and similar vein.

Thomas d'Angleterre https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_of_Britain

I didn´t know he was the author of "Tristan and Iseult"

Annette von Droste-Hülshoff
http://www.poemswithoutfrontiers.com...-Hulshoff.html

I enjoyed th poem "Mondesaufgang". It seemed to me to be better in English without the rhyme scheme.

Don Marquis... a favorite of mine. I tried to bring his spirit to a trio of poems inspired by Hawkman a number of years ago: "moiaussie" 7/15/2010 http://www.online-literature.com/for...-(for-hawkman) (pardon the cyan... select the poem by right clicking and dragging the mouse/finger); & "moiaussis reprise" & "death of pious the hedgehog" both 7/20/2010. A reading of Don Marquis' poem "mehitabel dances with boreas": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pb__Tm31qU

I´ll try to read the poem tomorrow by daylight. I am very shortsighted and I couldn´t read it in cyan. What is a "moiaussi" (me too)?

Manoel de Barros- a taste of Brazil
http://www.wordswithoutborders.org/d...rross-pantanal

mais oiu ! I have a short story I wrote this year, some where, where I explain how moiaussi received his name... it was a little buggy and hasn't seen the light of day yet. If your browser has the option to "select all" under the edit tab (Firefox has this feature) it should highlight the poem so it can be read easily.

re: Manoel de Barros - "There were unbridled horses in the scrub grass, their backs covered with butterflies.": I would have loved to see this... I have an affinity for butterflies. I enjoyed "Song of Seeing" in the English and will look for more of his poetry.

Bhupi Sherchan http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpresse...&brand=ucpress

Of course, I should have thought about it. It´s a very funny poem!
Some more Manoel de Barros-http://bombmagazine.org/article/3060/five-poems

Susan Sontag

Stephen Sondheim

Stored page about Bhupi Sherchan. First time that I read poetry from Nepal
