Let me know in the comments if you believe there are any glaring omissions. The list is, admittedly, centered around mostly English-speaking poets, but it doesn’t mean that their work should be regarded as “better” than others. Poetry is not a competition, and nor is it a hierarchical institution. My only hope is that some of the new discoveries you make while reading this will affect you on a personal level. During a century where much of the world saw huge declines in religion, it is uplifting to know that poetry can still provide us with a spiritual experience.
