Hi Gerry

Can you recommend any American poetry ? I'm familiar with literature but shamefully ignorant of poetry except Whitman,Frost and Dickinson.

I think it's really great the way you put your thoughts to pen and paper.

Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations; other than the obvious like Longfellow and Poe.

I love TS Elliot and that time frame. Older are Shakespeare sonnets, Browning, thereare so many. Depends on your taste. You'll know it when you read it. You can browse using computer to see what you respond to. Sample stuff. Like any art you just know when it's right.

Nigel,
You had asked previously asked about American poets. I had completely forgotten a book of poems given to me by a relative some time ago. Today, I came across the book of poems entitled "Collected Poems" by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Her Prose works were under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd.

Can't help but wonder if having read some of her poems in the past caused me to experience in your poetry an interest as well as enjoying them by interpreting and envisioning their meanings.

Again, thank you for sharing.


Gerry
