“The World Doesn’t End” by Charles Simic
“Deaf Republic” by Ilya Kaminsky
“Catalogue of Unabashed Gratitude” by Ross Gay
“Words for Empty and Words for Full” by Bob Hicok
“Life on Mars” by Tracy K. Smith
Those are books that have personally influenced me deeply. Other poets I like but haven’t read deeply are Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Elliot, Wendel Berry, W.H. Auden.
Not really someone who reads poetry, but I loved most of Robert Frost’s works that I read. You probably have read ‘The Road Not Taken’.
I like Kahlil Gibran
Recently been listening to Daniella Sinder and enjoying her works as well
Margaret Atwood’s Dearly helped me through a time of grief.
Danez Smith’s Don’t Call Us Dead is a collection that deals with police violence against black people, and about AIDS in the queer community. One poem in it made me instantly cry.
