Recommendations for a first crack at poetry --
Charles Simic . . .? Accessible little distorted scenes.
Robert Frost -- got me into poetry for the first time while at school.
Stevie Smith -- great stuff.
Can't go far wrong with a selected Yeats or translated Rilke.
Edwin Muir -- the rhymes are all there, but so is the dark.
Wislawa Szymborska -- nuff said.
