What, if any, poetry do you enjoy?

Recommended Posts

I enjoy reading poems but not of any particular writer. My favorite poems are local poetry, known as dub poetry and dialect, most of which are written in my native tongue. dub poetry has a lyrical sway to it and the dialects are mostly written about the way things were in years gone by but in a funny way.

 

Examples of dub poetry can be found at www.Mutabaruka.com and example of dialects are those written by Louise Bennett Coverley and Joan Andrea Hutchinson.

Probably one of the most famous poets of his time, Ted Hughes, is the poet whose work I always read. It's quite strange that no one has mentioned this poet who most people believe was the best during his era and that wasn't too long ago. The guy died in 1998.

I found most of his poems posted online here: http://allpoetry.com/poems/by/Ted%20Hughes
