the whole "learn how to write poetry by reading poetry" thing is a meme, right?
i mean, of course reading great poets will improve your poetry but there is no way you can just start writing and stumble upon a masterpiece, right? RIGHT?!
what books can you reccomend a complete pleb for starting to write poems and shit?

Just like any other pursuit, a nuts and bolts technical primer will do wonders for your foundation in poetry. Get a secondhand intro to poetry textbook. They use a lot of famous, well crafted poems as examples so youll kill two birds with one stone

Nuts and bolts essentially just means 'basics'.

Right. Not theory, not essays about poetry or its place in society, but the technical aspects of being able to read and write it

Read The Deamon Knows by Bloom. He explains why he champions some of the poems and poets he does and how they make him feel. It'll be a lot more useful once you're more acquainted with poetry though, so dont read it as introductory.

I'm enjoying these so far:

Kowit, Steve. In the Palm of Your Hand.
Hirsch, Edward. How to Read a Poem and Fall in Love with Poetry.
