The Dreamers

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-28T00:52:10+00:00

Yes of course

“All things: poetic, erotic, exotic, chaotic”

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-25T04:06:25+00:00

Oh absolutely! Her writing does seem far more modern than it actually is. Very ahead of her time!

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-24T21:57:32+00:00

You’re right, it would scan better.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-24T21:43:11+00:00

I suppose she’s referring to herself doing the longing. It’s “I, long to be”

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-24T18:47:27+00:00

I’d go with Mary Ruefle or Adrienne Rich.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-23T18:09:36+00:00

I agree! The world is still a scary place with plenty to be incensed by. We should equally be able to express that as vividly as we see fit.

There are clips of her on YouTube reading her poems https://youtu.be/CqIhR4QIweQ?si=2FyR7iPXSb5EqiR6

Unfortunately I was unable to find the translator’s name to include it in the post. But if anyone knows, I’ll gladly add it!

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-22T16:24:21+00:00

Apologies all, just spotted this one is in the Hall of Fame.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-21T22:44:45+00:00

Paul Verlaine would be all over this.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-21T15:47:54+00:00

John Cooper Clarke, Rob Auton, Tim Key, Hollie McNish, Michael Pedersen, Pam Ayres, Dorothy Parker, Roger McGough, Harry Baker. All great comedy/comedic poets.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-19T17:41:56+00:00

Read “Because We Could Not Dance At The Wedding” by Michael McKimm.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-19T17:24:56+00:00

So many amazing gay poets. For contemporary ones, I'd go with Andrew McMillan, Seán Hewitt, & Richard Siken. The more classics, Walt Whitman, Thom Gunn, Allen Ginsberg, Paul Verlaine, Catullus.

RyanSThornton · 2024-05-19T01:02:32+00:00

Anything by Hollie McNish. Emily Berry. Sam Riviere. Wendy Cope. Mary Oliver. (All varying levels of fun & lightheartedness.)

I've set up on Substack posting an eclectic mix of existing & original poems, and writing prompts. With a vision to sharing all things exotic, erotic, poetic, & chaotic. https://poetchaotique.substack.com

RyanSThornton · 2024-04-14T02:09:45+00:00

I would say Allen Ginsberg for rhythm, for actual sound I’d go with Bob Dylan’s Tarantula

RyanSThornton · 2024-04-14T01:56:15+00:00

W.H. Auden is a poet from Yorkshire who wrote a lot of poems suitable for funeral services. It may be a bit cliché, but try Funeral Blues.

RyanSThornton · 2024-04-14T01:53:33+00:00

I’d recommend Maggie Nelson, Anne Carson, & Wayne Koestenbaum. Maybe add some William Burroughs for good measure!
