| | Poet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the English language, poets often considered to be some of the most influential and profound include Chaucer, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and T.S. Eliot. | | | Within the tradition of Japanese chivalry, bushido, Japanese knights, known as samurai, were expected to become poets only once: right before death. | | | In the east, poets were similarly maintained by royal patronage, and those of high birth were expected to develop this skill alongside many others. |

| | The Poet |
| | The poet is the person in whom these powers are in balance, the man without impediment, who sees and handles that which others dream of, traverses the whole scale of experience, and is representative of man, in virtue of being the largest power to receive and to impart. | | | The poet has a new thought: he has a whole new experience to unfold; he will tell us how it was with him, and all men will be the richer in his fortune. | | | The beauty of the fable proves the importance of the sense; to the poet, and to all others; or, if you please, every man is so far a poet as to be susceptible of these enchantments of nature: for all men have the thoughts whereof the universe is the celebration. |

| | Leo Aylen - Poet |
| | Leo Aylen is that rarity, an extraordinarily effective poet whose verse not only cries out to be spoken aloud but which also survives on the printed page to communicate, most tellingly, to the inward ear. | | | I regard Leo Aylen as being a poet, unusually competent, and unusually sincere. | | | As a poet he is unabashedly romantic, wholly unafraid of the bold, or the dangerously vulnerable, statement of feeling. |

| | Just as bad as these poets are their entourages who comment on their work and tell them how wonderful and profound they are when in reality, they dont know what the hell the masturbating Mensan poet said either. | | | Poets in the second group usually think theyre the underdogs, and anyone whos bothered to read a book of real poetry is automatically less creative. | | | I find both these types of poets, the well-educated poet who looks down on others and the uneducated poet with the chip on the shoulder, to be equally annoying. |

| | Every poet I know -- although there may be some I don't know who lead very different lives, who maybe live in the country and don't teach -- tends to be just like the rest of us: just really busy, really overcommitted. | | | We think of Lucille Clifton's poems, and they don't have to have an "I" in them for the spirit of the poet, a person, to be felt. | | | Born in San Francisco and educated at Stanford and Columbia, Olds arrived as a poet somewhat late: her first collection, "Satan Says," was published when she was 37. |

| | New Georgia Encyclopedia: James Dickey (1923-1997) |
| | Dickey is a southern poet and a Georgia poet more because of his place of birth and the settings of his poem than for the "southern" attitudes they express. | | | Almost always the poet occupies the center of his poems, usually as an actor, less often as an observer, in the scene he describes. | | | and a poetic style that deviated from the intellectualism of such high modernist poets as T. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Gertrude Stein made him a distinctive figure in contemporary American writing. |

| | The Poet's Poet |
| | The poet, despising the sordid and unwieldy natures of men, may try, as Wordsworth did, to give us a purer crystallization of his ideas in nature, but it is really his own personality, scattered to the four winds, that he is offering us in the guise of nature, as the habiliments of his thought. | | | The poet may not always be conscious of this, any more than Keats was; his traits may be so broadcast that he is in the position of the philosopher who, from the remote citadel of his head, disowns his own toes; nevertheless, a sense of tingling oneness with him is the secret of nature's attraction. | | | Although the poet's egotism would seem logically to cause him to find his chief pleasure in undisturbed communion with himself, still this picture of the poet delighting in solitude cannot be said to follow, usually, upon his banishment from society. |

| | About Bob Kaufman |
| | He was known to recite other poets he knew "by heart" and interlaced his own verses with theirs. | | | According to Hudson, the Beat poets related to ancient bardic traditions and sought to bring their poetry directly to the people. | | | One of the hallmarks of the oral poet is anonymity, and Kaufman was a man of the streets whose oral compositions and public performances were his particular mode of art and life. |

| | Hexapedia - Irish literature |
| | In the 19th century, Irish poets writing in English set out to reinvent the Gaelic tradition in the new language, frequently translating bardic and other early Irish poets and retelling stories from Celtic mythology in Victorian verse. | | | The generation of Irish poets that followed Yeats were, to simplify, divided between those who were influenced by his early Celtic style and those who followed such modernist figures as James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, both of whom wrote poetry as well as their better known fiction and drama. | | | From the older tradition, Irish writers in English have inherited a sense of wonder in the face of nature, a narrative style that tends towards the deliberately exaggerated or absurd, a keen sense of the power of satire. |

| | The poetry and essays he published during the war era demonstrate the evolution of his viewpoint, from the Tolstoyan belief in the possibility of world unity through fraternal love to an apocalyptic vision of the doom of an ignoble and impenitent humanity. | | | In his poetic world where all are at fault and none repent, Biblical allusions reinforce a distant and mocking voice, bolstered by a graphic and even grisly vocabulary of mutilation and savage death. | | | Nonetheless, the more than three volumes of poetry and the many articles he wrote against the war in the period 1914-1919 remain shrouded by the poet's disavowal of all of his works written before 1925. |
