Been thinking of becoming a philosopher and poet and would like to know if anybody knows any good poets I could study or things they enjoy in a poem?
Here I sit, broken hearted
Tried to shit, but only farted
Went back to class and took a chance
Tried to fart, and shit my pants

contemporary poetry is utter dogshit written by ugly foids, soy numales and niggers
earlier poetry is more valuable, you can check out a variety of poets and see which you prefer, then look at other poets of the same era/style
a few worth looking at, mostly less obvious ones:
- Park Barnitz (based suicidal misanthrope)
- romantics like shelley and keats. shelley is too didactic most of the time, but has his moments
- philip larkin
- philip sidney and petrarch from the sonnet tradition. petrarch wrote in italian but there's a few decent translations, I'm fond of Auslander's:
www.best-poems.net
- ghazalists like mir, and some roman poets like catullus can resemble them
- kalidasa, maybe tagore
- r.h. morrison (obscure aussie poet)
- christian poetry like milton's paradise lost + george herbert + gascoyne's miserere
- edward thomas + francis ledwidge + patrick kavanaugh + a.e. (george russell), 'oldfashioned' 20th c poets
- early christian poets like ephraim and aurelius prudentius
- puritan poets like edward taylor
- emily dickinson and nora may french if you need foid poets
had most of these listed in a text file, fortunately
tbh I feel most poetry is a bit tiresome and insubstantial, nowadays I can't be bothered with most of it. still find ghazals cool tho, their format is better than most. it's the freeform, refined poetry that contemporary poetry pretends to be

Quitting Vaucluse, His Soul Stays Behind with Laura poem - Joseph Auslander
Those cherished hills which hold my spirit still Where the heart lingers, though I tear my feet Fiercely away, confront my dull retreat, While I bear Love's dark burden by Love's will.
