lol Sorry, if I leave this at "lol" it's going to look rude, but as an amateur poet the list of poets I've read is extremely lengthy; here goes but imagine several volumes from many of these and countless unmentioned one- or half-dozen-offs. Louise Gluck - 4+ volumes Sharon Olds Robert Frost Dana Goia Claudia Rankine Danez Smith Dean Young Tomas Transtromer Patrizia Cavalli Charles Simic Mary Oliver Dorothy Parker Edna St Vincent Millay Bukowski Theodore Roethke Neruda Borges Elizabeth Bishop Li-Young Lee Bob Hicok Robert Hass Philip Levine etc etc etc Anything you can name that got named in your college intro-to-various-eras-of-poetry classes, I probably read it.
