#PoetryMonth | Letter E - Share your favorite poet! Join the AtoZ Poets Challenge
Elliot's poetry was characterized by its complex and elusive style, blending elements of classical and contemporary literature with a deeply spiritual and often existential perspective. Here's a stanza from his most famous poem, The Wasteland, which ironically begins with the month we are actually in celebrating Poetry Month. April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain

Namaste and hello, dear swell Casters. So I am responding to the call today to talk about a poet whose name starts with E letter E. So the poet that I have chosen to talk about is very, very dear to my heart. It is Emily Dickinson. And her poetry is so deep, so intriguing, so inspiring, and I would say, so evocative. I can contemplate over one line for hours together

If we're talking e, we got to talk EE. Cummings, that is. I went through a big EE. Cummings face in college, but I haven't revisited his work in a while. But I remembered this poem. I memorized it, but I lost it through the years. So I'm gonna I'm gonna read it now. It's called since feeling is first

I'm not dissing anybody's mentions here, but I feel like you have to mention when you're talking about poets starting with E or having E anywhere in their name, you have to mention Edgar Allen Poe, of course, one of the most well known poets of all time. So I want to share one of his poems known as Alone

When Duke William became King of England and Harold got shot in the eye, it were this way one day in October, the Duke, who were always tough, having no battles on at the moment, had given his ladies a day off. They had all taken boats to go fishing. When some chap in tea conqueror's ear said let's go and put breeze up the Saxons said Bill, by gum, that's an idea. So I just shared a few lines from his poetry

See, all the love poems that I have read are a lie. All but this. And it looks that you have arrived to the city landing like a divorced princess, only to show me that I'm alive even than all the love poems that I have read are alive. They are all bastards of rancor, of lack, of selfishness and oblivion
