Poets I Marvel At

I'm starting to compile a list of [poets I marvel @] because one of my favorite teachers ever, the guy responsible for infecting me with the bug (terminal, really) of poetry, my intro to creative writing professor at Waynesburg University: Martin Cockroft. He also taught most of my other poetry classes. He said that I should read and read and read those poets that I really love their work, poetry that I feel I'll never be able to write, but that I... want to write like, I guess? I like the first part of that last sentence. Still trying to figure out the end. But, look for my list, look for mini biographies and examples of their poetry and quotes (in many different media e.g. Berryman). Berryman is the one I am into now. I'll post one of his Dream Songs. This publishing engine will likely alter his poems structure but I'll see what I can do.
