Ten American Poets Everyone Should Read
INFORMATIVE User Created List

Tags: american poets, american, poets, must read, top ten

This is just a list of poets that I think every American should read as they really encapsulate the American Spirit, for good or ill. In parenthesis are two favorite poems by each poet. Enjoy!

1. Edgar Allan Poe (Annabel Lee or The Raven)
2. Walt Whitman (Vigil Strange I Kept on the Field One Night or O Captain My Captain)
3. Robert Frost (Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening or the Road Less Traveled)
4. T.S. Eliot (The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock or the Hollow Men)
5. Langston Hughes (Harlem Sweeties or Let America be America Again)
6. Theodore Roethke (Elegy for Jane or My Papa's Waltz)
7. Sylvia Plath (Cut or Daddy)
8. Shel Silverstein (Where The Sidewalk Ends or Forgotten Language)
9. Emily Dickinson (#465 "I heard a fly buzz when I died" or #241 I like a look of Agony)
10. Alan Ginsberg (Howl or To Aunt Rose)
