Poetry

How do you discover new poetry? I find myself coming back to the poems and poets I’ve known and loved for years, and every attempt to go beyond them almost always fails.

I feel this too! Who needs new when you have Marina Tsvetayeva, Sappho, Adelia Prado, Anne Carson? But then, there is the occasional pleasure of finding a new love to add to the personal canon. I guess it happens like this - a lucky recommendation that strikes right for you. Though I don’t know your taste, of course.

I also look at the poets who the poets I like love. Go back up the chain of what they read.
