Poets

As a young man with relatively limited experience of life, I am particularly interested in writing about love and sex at the moment, but I cover other stuff too, such as religion and death.

When I write, I sometimes use quite loose rhymes and assonances, but I am quite particular about rhythm. I also think that a poem's name is a crucial part of it. My poems' names often change several times before I settle on something I am happy with. Some of my poems are quite abstract, in which case I encourage people to develop their own interpretations.

I have only recently started to take a serious interest in poetry, and don't know a huge amount about it. Recommendations of favourite poets are therefore very welcome.
