favorite poet

Yes, I would also have to agree with silentstalker, Poe is wanderful. I love how he kind of turns the Raven into a whole short story. I also have been reading quite a bit of Robert Frost lately too......

My favorite poet?...


Zach from Rage Against the Machine / Jonathan Davis from KoRn...

But if your talking about past poets,... I'd say Edgar Allen Poe.

edgar allen poe, and ginsburg

I like Byron alot but I must say that my all time favourite is Kirkegaard, the danish writer and philosopher. Oh, and Kipling:

I could not dig, I dared not rob.
Therefore I lied to please the mob.
Now all my lies have proved untrue,
and I must face the men I slew.
What tale shall serve me here among,
mine angry, and defrauded young?

Poe is excellent, as are Frost, Shakepeare, Byron, and Ginsburg. I am a big fan of Robert Burns, Ranier Maria Rilke, and Hildegard von Bingen.

I’m surprised, I didn’t thing so many people liked byron. Although with so many programmers here, I really shouldn’t be, with Ada named after his daughter Ada Lovelace….Byron rules.

Howl and Kaddish, the whole beat thing grabs me from time to time…anybody ever hear of the fuggs.

Poe, sometimes I think he’s fantastic, other times I wish I could tell him to stop the pity party.

Contemporary, for me its Jim Carroll, Void of Course, but ill probably change my mind next month.
