Out of quarrels with others we make rhetoric. Out of quarrels with ourselves, we make poetry.
--W.B. Yeats

More Sylvia Plath Three of my favorite Plath poems, including Mad Girl's Love Song, my absolute favorite poem of any I've ever read.
Dylan ThomasMy other favorite poem of all time, as well as a second Thomas poem I really like.
Maya AngelouI actually love most Maya Angelou poetry, but I only have one posted here for now. I'm trying to chose a couple more.
Allen GinsbergThought there's only one poem here, it's LOOONG, so it may as well be four.
Leonard CohenNot many people have read much Leonard Cohen. I wouldn't call myself an expert on him, but I have enjoyed what I've read.
Anne SextonA couple of my favorite Anne Sexton poems.
An Excerpt from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet This is a short, teensy little book that everyone should read. I have only one of my favorite chapters posted here for now, but I plan to add more.
