Luckily, we don’t all have to like the same things. Poetry is a versatile medium, with plenty of room for all of us to find something to appreciate. Who are your favorite poets?
not at all! I like lots of poets though it's hard to come up with a favorite...um. Wallace Stevens, Langston Hughes, Hopkins, Emily Dickinson... I've been reading and enjoying Rita Dove recently. Really love Christian Bok's Eunoia, which I read last year. Terrance Hayes is great. My first collection of poetry (coming out this year) is a bunch of translations/adaptations/responses to Anna Akhmatova...
Don’t pick on Mary Oliver. She is my patron saint. (Although I do appreciate the humor).
A lot of people like her! I...do not very much, unfortunately. I've tried!

Or is that too personal?

Thank you. Favorite is a loaded word I know.
But it’s still January. Or am I being too literal?
argh. I'll fix it. sigh.
Good Morning All, Caturday as ZiggyWiggy would say!😻
Seems to me that your life IS wild and precious. Good morning
