I am not a big poetry fan but I have read poems by Shakespeare and William Wordsworth and they are pretty nice.

I love Elizabethan poetry and War poetry due to the descriptive masterpieces with thinly veiled historical links. I also loved T.S Elliot because his poetry his hauntingly beautiful with his themes of isolation and loneliness.

Edgar Allen Poe if you can get into it. It can be pretty dark but the poetry is raw and relevant and that is what I like so much about it.

No collection of any kind but I do read poetry in any verse or type depending on what is available.

Pillow thought 1 & 2, the first one was my favorite
The sun and her flowers
Born to love, curse to feel.
These are free poems. They don’t follow any sort of writing format but are fun and easy to read and enjoyable

The BreakBeat Poets - New American Poetry in the Age of Hip-Hop

I was particularly fond of Angel Nafis's Gravity and Douglas Kearney's Drop It Like Its Hottentot Venus. Kearney's style of illustrative typography really adds to his poems.
