William Wordsworth and Robert Burns...I'm a Romantic
I love them, too, UW!
Wordsworth: "Tintern Abbey" and "Composed upon Westminster Bridge"
Burns: "My Heart's in the Highlands"
My favorite English romantic is John Keats.

Too many to name all, but: Rilke, Shelley, Levine, Kizer, Harjo, Ginsberg....even Shakespeare as a poet. I'm now actually reading Neruda due to someone on Hubpages.
Rilke will always be at the heart of my heart, however.

Edgar Allen Poe with Emily Dickenson coming up second
for me it has to Akhmatova, then Bukowski, then Montague and then about 50 others that really make an impact on me... so little time so much poetry...
