I like this thread. Of course, particular poems are critiqued as requested in the Poetry thread, and specifics are discussed there, but I think a thread for favourite published/famous poets, and general writing, is a good idea.

I like Yeats, of course, but most everybody does... other favourites are William Blake (so conceptually ahead of his time it's fucking amazing), Philip Larkin, Robert Frost and of course, Ted Hughes, whom words cannot even begin to describe in all his astoundingness.
