Explore Recommended Books
Delve into the rich history of poetry with our curated selection of recommended books. From classic poets like Shakespeare to contemporary voices, our collection offers a treasure trove of inspiration for aspiring poets and poetry enthusiasts. To write well, you need to read well.
On this page, we showcase The Collected Poems of Sylvia Plath, perhaps the foremost confessional poet of the '50s and '60s. Also, The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, a mover and shaker and leading artistic light in the Harlem Renaissance in the early 20th century. And, finally, Life Studies by Robert Lowell, one of my favorite American poets and the academic muse of Plath and other Confessional Poets, such as Anne Sexton. With these three poets, you have an explosive critical mass of talent that determined the future of modern American poetry. Dig in!
