Was reading some emily dickinson for the first time today and loving it but reading off a screen is not ideal. That list looks impressive.

They're very big books. That new American poetry is portable

Just ordered that New American Poetry, 18 euros second hand, not bad. I was looking at some frank o hara the other day and really liked it, haven't read any of the others before so looking forward to it.
Was tempted by Poems for the millennium but was 45 euros - maybe another day.
Cheers, all

Sylvia Plath? I remember liking some of her stuff but havent revisited for a long time. I tried the Bell Jar and didnt like it so that put me off i think.

Absolutely loving the New American Poetry anthology, read most of it already - having no mobile phone for a week has really helped - and enjoying practically everything in it (apart from the Beats section which I haven't read yet cos I'm prejudiced against Kerouac and Ginsberg). Some really mind-blowing stuff in here, making my brain hurt in a good way, which is exactly what I wanted.
Where next? Maybe this?
Or maybe more stuff by the big American names - Olson/Creeley/Duncan/Dorn - to continue on the route I've just opened up?

Dorn's Gunslinger is very entertaining

Yeah definitely considering that, I think the Rick of green wood and Vaquero in this book are really beautiful, and the Hide of my Mother is funny. I like him a lot

I find the John Ashbery ones here really intriguing too, but they're all so different from each other it's hard to know what he's about or where to go next.
I love A Boy for example but couldn't pretend to know what he's really getting at as its so abstract, but the one about looking out of the window and imagining he's in Guadalajara seems a lot more straightforward.
I really like the energy of a lot of the poems in the anthology in general- must have been a very exciting time

The projected verse essay seems like the key to unlocking a lot of this stuff and I'm glad I read that first, it really helped to get a grip on it all

The yellow-leaved waterlily
The green-sheathed daffodilly
Tremble in the water chilly
Round about Shalott.

my dad would read this one to me as a child
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
The Eagle
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
