Ah yes, remember him well... a lot like my Dad.

BC: Very accomplished as a poet; a shame all his early financial losses. A lovely poem "The Vagabonds".

Carol Muske-Dukes- Advanced for her time. Strong imagery of the poem.

Wonderful Envelope Sonnet. I tried to imagine a soft female Scot's accent as I scanned.

I like written Scottish. I just remembered a n English teacher from Scotland. He was a very good teacher and very imaginative. Under his direction we wrote the promising fragment of a novel, The Straw Hat,
AB- The Padre´s Dream, a female epic! Thats not so usual.
Bolesław Leśmian

BL: He had me until L14... maybe just the translation?
Léonie Adams... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Léonie_Adams
BL-Can´t say.I liked his imagery
LA-http://homepages.wmich.edu/~cooneys/poems/Adams.html. I wonder what´s the difference between laureate and "common" poets.
Anton Chekhov
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Chekhov
LA: The selection of poems you referenced is extraordinary. U.S. Poet Laureate: https://blogs.loc.gov/catbird/2012/0...eate-selected/ ... others possibly chosen similarly. AC: Another genius short lived.

JANUARY 28th, 1880.
NO more I long for April’s fitful sheen,
For little fluttering lives, that passed in June,
For leaves and flowers, by sad October lost;
Since now in ecstasy mine eyes have seen
The rich blue heaven of a summer noon
O’er dazzling trees, thick‐robed with mossy frost.
Amid the leafless hedge‐rows jewel‐twined,
Great trunks and boughs, not crystal‐clad as they,
Like black majestic arches I behold;
All wreathed and crowned with woven sprays, defined
In every tender shade of pearly grey,
And radiant white, that glitters into gold.
Around the mighty limbs all gnarled and bowed,
The oak‐tree twigs are finely interlaced;
The willows droop in bright cascades of foam,
Each distant tree, a white and feathery cloud,
The nearer branches, delicately traced,
And gleaming pure against the azure dome.
The winds are hushed—there comes no murmuring breeze
To stir the poplar’s lofty sun‐lit cone,
Or myriad branchlets of the wide‐spread beech:
Through this all‐glorious temple of the trees,
As through the house of God, I walk alone;
A silence, as of worship, is their speech.
You are right about the page. Found also a poem by her in very good German.
Thanks for the excelent link on laureating poets. It gave me the idea for a new thread.

AB- A founding mother! She knew a lot at a time when a woman writing at all was a transgression

http://quod.lib.umich.edu/e/eebo/A01...;view=fulltext
BG: 16th century English is difficult for me... but I'll take a stab at it -
Give me money, take friendship - who so lies/for friends are gone once adversity comes/when money yet remains safe in (the) chest
That quickly brings misery/for friends show their faces when riches abound/comes time of proof, farewell, they must (go) away/Believe me well they are not to be found/If God but sends once the lowering day/gold never starts aside but in distress/finds ways enough to ease thine heavens
Gertrud von Le Fort... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrud_von_Le_Fort
http://annebender.blogspot.com/2016/...n-le-fort.html
BG-Renaissance sincerity! I liked your translation, seems to be a circular poem, the ideas repeat themselves.
Le Fort- Very strong images. A German catholic is somewhat unusual to me
Franklin Rosemont
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Rosemont
FR: Hard to find poetry online but finally found this: http://www.surrealistmovement-usa.org/pages/poetry.html I'd like to read his book on Breton https://www.poemhunter.com/andre-breton/ .
Richard Wilbur... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wilbur
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-death-of-a-toad/
FR-Searched a lot. I found this page but didn´t notice his poem on it. An probable influence named in the poem:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giambattista_Vico
Probably author's rights still with the family.
RW-Loved the poem.
W. H. Auden
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._H._Auden
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/unknown-citizen
FR: Zico - I never would have made the connection. WA: I like that he dabbled in all forms of poetry. His poem flows rather matter-of-factly, if I might state ever inexactly: oft worded with whimsy.
Ava von Göttweig... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ava_(poet)
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-...ation-to-mary/
AvG- Again one of the hidden great women!Referred too as the 1. German female theologician. Found a long poem about the final judment. The charming and probably also the social aspect of it is the language, because it is written in old German.She took the stories from the Bible, but I think before Luther, the Bible could only be read in Latin. So maybe she acted a bit as a translator.
Gertrud Kolmar (a favorite)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrud_Kolmar
https://allpoetry.com/Gertrud-Kolmar
GK: My heart aches upon learning she was a victim of Auschwitz. Enjoyed the selection of poetry. Her poetry has a wistful quality; had she worn a smile in her portrait it would have seemed out of place.
Keki N. Daruwalla... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keki_N._Daruwalla
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suddenly-the-tree/
KD-Loved his strong images:"Then with a drone of straining engines
the bees rose like a swarm of passions
from a dying heart, and left."
Dante da Maiano (the other one)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_da_Maiano
http://www.italianstudies.org/poetry/cn2.htm
DdM: Interesting the interaction between DdM and his contemporary poets including the correspondence with DA you cited.
Mathilde Blind... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathilde_Blind
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-music-lesson/
MB-Very independent life at a time, when a woman couldn´t move around much without the company of a man. Cute poem, am going to post it next in the animals thread(if you don´t mind of course).
Ben Jonson
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Jonson
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poe...s/detail/50672
MB: De nada. BJ: lol... just couldn't stay out of trouble; bold and irreverent and prolific. Enjoyed the poem - some wit in this: "I’ll tell you of more, and lie, so you will come".

KA: Intriguing poem. I found an explanation in "Dividing Lines: Poetry, Class, and Ideology in the 1930s" by Adrian Caesar (googlebooks - so I won't post the link). The surrealism depicted explores (roughly) class/politics/war/hope (the lack thereof)/a timelessness.
Alfonsina Storni... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfonsina_Storni
https://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ligh...-in-the-night/
KA-Reread the poem. I find it feels contemporaneous:
"What shall we do with our hardened arteries/Under the zeppelin shade of catastrophe/but emulate the gloss and selfishness of china/Till the clocks fly away?"
Alfonsina and the sea:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simonides_of_Ceos
http://www.scottmanning.com/content/...-the-spartans/
AS: Wonderful tribute song. My poem a foggy day at the seashore 11/12/2016 http://www.online-literature.com/for...=1#post1329749 is a thinly veiled surrender to the sea (note rather than wading to one's "knees" I used "waist" to break up the rhyme and cause pause). SoC: A shame so little is left of his work.

TS-Revisited the poem. There seems to be more than one way to understand it. Isn´t there a "d" missing in "one gets used"?
CG-Nice poem. And I have the feeling he wrote the wiki side himself.
George Bernhard Shaw
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bernard_Shaw
https://www.goodreads.com/author/quo...e_Bernard_Shaw
tS: You are absolutely correct... revised my web page/cannot correct post though. GBS: Incredible writer. Found this that might interest you that goes with his quote: “Animals are my friends...and I don't eat my friends.” ... http://mypoeticside.com/poets/george-bernard-shaw-poems

GBS-I Like the poem but find it very difficult to eat only vegetables. I´m trying to diminish meat.
SC- Remarkable life. Poem shows good knowledge of the history of Britain.

CB: Heard it on the news... another legend gone. I was just perusing (again) the Rolling Stone list of 100 best guitarists recently https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...7z0Dukcu_3B_MQ , Chuck was a strong #7.
Going with a Barry: Barry Callaghan... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Callaghan

CB-Tks for the link. Sending it to rock fans. Quite a piece of late 20C there.
BC-Interesting environment, but couldn´t quite follow the poem, because it was spoken.
Carlos Gardel

(Sorry, didn´t find anything in English but at least one can appreciate his very characteristic music)
CG: Enjoyed.

GA-"He also gave reason that she was not feminine enough stating that she was more verbal than should be and was often too aggressive for a woman of the 19th century." :(
Astor Piazzola

AP: Amazing musicality. Interesting the classical/jazz influences fused with his innovative tango arrangements.
Phillis Wheatley... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phillis_Wheatley

PW-This is utterly amazing: a slave poet of the 18C writing first rate poetry and being furthered by her owners! A pity her story ended so sadly.Good choice of poem.
