I love your posts and I read a lot of poetry, do you have any recommendations? Like anthologies, authors, etc?

Hi!! Yes!! Of course!!

If you read a lot of poetry and are on Tumblr I'm assuming you've already read Louise Glück, Richard Siken, Jack Gilbert, Danez Smith, Kaveh Akbar, Ada Limón, Anne Carson and Mary Oliver. There's a lot of their poems circulating on here, so I'll try to rec poets I've not seen as much of.

In no particular order:

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER Carl Philips, Then the War: And Selected Poems, 2007-2020

Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces

Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

Paige Lewis, Space Struck

Wisława Szymborska, Monologue of a Dog

Hanif Abdurraqib, A Little Devil in America

Craig Santos Perez, Habitat Threshold

I've also really loved Anna Akhmatova's poems, but haven't read a full collection of hers. I'd recommend reading The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry edited by Ilya Kaminsky & Susan Harris, which features some of her work.

If you're just looking for a good way to discover poets you might like, check out the various collections posted by the editors on poetryfoundation.org. I like this one in particular.

And finally, not a poet, but one of my all time favourite theorists and a speech I keep coming back to: Judith Butler's talk on rage and grief. It's only about 10 minutes long and it might just be my favourite thing in the whole entire world.

#yes I linked a poem I like for each poet #its just #WORDS!!! #I LIKE EM #IM NORMAL ABOUT EM #thanks for asking #a lot of the stuff I read is a little bit older and often already fair well known so if you're looking for hidden gems you might have to as #someone who's more up to date on this stuff #Ilya Kaminsky and Kaveh Akbar both have a few interviews were they talk to and or about poets they like #so that might be worth checking out as well #okay im done now promise #it speaks #hockey poems

I have been easy with trees too long. Too familiar with mountains. Joy has been a habit. Now suddenly this rain.

That light, that valley, those hills, that country where people finally touch as we would touch, reaching with hand and body and mouth, crying, and do not meet. Those perfect small trees of loneliness, dark with my longing against the light.

Tomás Q. Morín, author of the recent collection Machete, chose a poem by a Knopf ancestor for today. His pick is this four-liner by Jack Gilbert (1925-2012), from the award-winning collection Refusing Heaven. Tomás writes, “I've carried a handwritten copy of this poem, given to me by a friend, in my wallet for probably close to ten years. Wallets have come and gone, but the mysterious nostalgia (or is it nostalgic mystery?) and the hope threaded through this poem remain fresh. Each time I read it, I smile. There's not much praise I can give better than that.”

The Reinvention of Happiness

I remember how I’d lie on my roof listening to the fat violinist below in the sleeping village play Schubert so badly, so well
