I have never considered myself to be a poetry reader, but after hearing some of those passages, it makes me want to try some of those works. I feel like I totally rummage through people’s faces with my eyes too, lol. Thanks for the recs!

one of my favourite poets that I started reading last year is Mary Oliver I read the collection Devotions which contains poems from all of her works and I was blown away by it! Also I highly recommend reading it in spring because a lot of the poems have to do with nature and it just made me love the world and my life so much 🌼🌺🌻

So excited to see your recs! ❤ Poetry can be such a hit or miss for some! 🌻

I discovered Ranier Maria Rilke this spring when Jimin of BTS had parts of Rilke’s poem “tattooed” on his torso during an MV. It is from the Book of Hours where the poems don’t have individual titles. But it’s the one that starts “I live my life in widening circles, , , ”
The Book of Hours remains on the table beside my reading chair! I have also read Rilke’s “Letters to a Young Poet.” The letters were simply that. Sounds boring? Not a bit. Still relevant info for poets and writers today.
I am now reading another of his works “Duino Eligies.” Rilke was a true artist. He paints each word with beauty or pain. And his poems will often make you stop to contemplate what you have just read. Much like you would stop in an art museum to soak up the beauty of a painting.

Anne Carson, for sure. "Plainwater" is another magnificent work of hers. You may enjoy Rae Armantrout, Louise Gluck, and John Ashbery as well. All the best!

and here i was literally two days ago thinking how i had no idea where to start with poetry! excited to check these out 🤗

I'm making my way through Emily's completed works. It's over 1700 poems 😭like she's brilliant, but also you can only read so many poems in a sitting or they'll lose all meaning.

[camscornerbooks]

One of my goals is to get more into poetry. It’s really not my thing but I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of wonderful literature because of it. Perfect timing for this! I totally trust your recommendations Emmie ❤

[gayashri]

Loved these recommendations emmie!🧡 The best part of reading poetry, to me at least, is how when you're reading certain poetry you are overcome by this sense of recognition despite the fact that the poem belongs to the experience of the poet, and it strikes you as somehow familiar..

What a timing! Yesterday I bought a collection of Rilke's poetry for the first time. The video you made about him convinced me. Great video as always❣️

[anevildoer]

Some of my favourite poets are definitely Federico García Lorca and Hafez and I'm going to recommend them to everyone continuously until the day I die, and then from beyond the grave, chanting these poems as I stroll through the corridors of the gothic churches I intend to haunt (death goals, yes). I also read Matsuo Bashō quite recently and absolutely adored his haikus as well. As to your recommendations, I absolutely love Emily Dickinson's and Baudelaire's poems too, although I never bought an actual volume of their poetry, I read their works online. I really have to buy their poetry collections some day, once I have more money 😅

[suzannetol]

This was a lovely list. I started my journey and love for poetry 2 years ago. I adore Charles Baudelaire's work. His poem just hit me right in the guts. You can't really go wrong with him.

i need to read more poetry! one of my classes this semester is on contemporary (20-21st century) english poetry and the course is making me super excited to read more!
love dickinson and baudelaire, they are extremely different yet both amazing poets. Baudelaire was actually the reason why I decided to major in french :)

[olena_]

really exited to read some of the poetry you recommended!⭐ if i were to recommend a poet, it would be Lesia Ukrainka. she's one of Ukraine's most iconic authors. i also really recommend her play "The forest song", a Ukrainian classic. Here's a bit from her poem "Contra spem spero", for everyone interested:

Away, dark thoughts, you autumn clouds!
A golden spring is here!
Shall it be thus in sorrow and in lamentation
That my youthful years pass away?

No, through all my tears I still shall laugh,
Sing songs despite my troubles;
Have hope despite all odds,
I want to live! Away, you sorrowful thoughts!

On this poor, indigent ground
I shall sow flowers of flowing colors;
I shall sow flowers even amidst the frost,
And water them with my bitter tears.

Idk, these words have been a beam of light in my life, like a lot of poetry...

The anatomy of being - Shinji Moon is such an incredible collection of poetry, from the first page i knew it was going to be a forever love of mine ♥️

[elenal]

This video coming while I'm taking a poetry class and deep-diving into a personal investment in creating and consuming poems...absolutely exquisite timing.

Songs can be beautiful poems too, the lyrics of one of my favourites containing such lines as "she might be bringing me the Fleurs Du Mal or just a foxy valentine...A strange face in the back of a car for a moment looked like yours.And all at once I started feeling lost and empty and what's the use in all the books and all the lines you sent me...And in all the futures that the modern world can show you there might be one of them that's near enough for me to know you.
