Is he the only poet that is not a boring fuck deep up his own ass?

one of the few from his era. There are tons of modern poets however that don't delimit themselves by adherence to standards of how poetic diction and structure should work

I'm glad I met someone else who thinks conventional poetry rules are stodgy and archaic

k pham then what about this one

they aren't as a rule, and many poets have worked well within those grounds. But in general yeah I do appreciate modern english diction, more accessible to me. Maybe if I studied poetry academically instead of just being a casual reader of stuff I like, I'd think differently. I know people who are well-versed in middle-english that consider Chaucer to be the GOAT, but I can't personally get much out of Canterbury Tales

I like Jeffers, though I can see how he could be boring.
You might also try Kerouac's poetry.

This man is the GOAT of Russian ordinary-language poetry. Also Rimbaud

They all adhere to their own bullshit set of made-up rules on emphasis and subject matter

i bought a book of his and read it once. it was ok.

Borges is a pretty great poet.
His poetry i think gets unjustly overshadow by his short stories and essays.
He was almost never pretentious and always to the point. He chose his words wisely an never wasted one.
I also enjoy Baudelaire and Pessoa a lot

20th century russian poets all had goat looks, like ex convicts, laborers etc.

And then if you go further back they're the only ones to keep jumping in duels and dying at a young age over honor and pussy.
