CarolynM There are so many wonderful poets, but I would probably choose Byron 6y
wanderinglynn @Amabear Yes! Poetry is good for the soul! ❤️ 6y
wanderinglynn @GatheringBooks It was an unfair question because I don‘t have just one fave either! 😀 6y
dastevensish Mary Oliver, Nikki Giovanni, Katrina Vandenberg are all favorites. 6y
wanderinglynn @CarolynM “It is the hour when from the boughs
The nightingale's high note is heard;
It is the hour -- when lover's vows
Seem sweet in every whisper'd word;” ❤️ Byron! 6y
Sophoclessweetheart I‘m a sucker for Yeats and Donne but I enjoy Plath and Brontë too xx 6y
wanderinglynn @Wanderingwithwords I enjoy Years, Plath, & Brontë too. But I haven‘t read much Donne. 6y
wanderinglynn @dastevensish I love Nikki Giovanni. I have two of her books signed as she came to my university when I was a student. ❤️ I‘ll have to check out Oliver & Vandenberg. Thanks for the suggestions! 6y
callielafleur I love Mark Doty and John Gardner. Oh, and especially Wislawa Szymborska. 6y

This is my favorite book of poetry! Highly eclectic, it has something for everyone. The story behind the collection is great- poems are posted on London's underground for commuters to enjoy. #poetry #teachersoflitsy #englishteacher #librarylove
