it got an excellent answer from you 
dickinson isn't my cup of tea, she's like a feather in my throat. my taste when i can't get smile generating is as eclectic as dales. no specific poets though, more individual pieces. some of the classics are pure and will hopefully stay that way as the cornerstones of poetry. post modern poetry seems to have none or very few of those, maybe in a few hundred years. some modern poets are getting good stuff out but in the main i think a lot of what's published now days as crap. i've seen a few poems on this site that i'd pay for if published. modern poetry often doesn't feel like poetry. i wish it would.
