Edward Snow.

Supposedly he's sounds quite different from the original but his translations are so elegant it doesnt matter

You mean Kavafis or the guy you posted? Who is that anyway?

>>9648732
nvm the guy I posted is a greek meme
Kavafis is great but greeks have a lot of poets so Its hard to choose. Elitis, Seferis, Ritsos and Cavafy are top tier.

Paradise Lost

Auden. If you like The Tempest, read The Sea and The Mirror. One of the better long poems I've read.

Elizabeth Bishop
Larkin's really beautiful grumpycore. He's way way way better at Bukowski's game.
Frank O'Hara's comfy and fun

>>9644819
As a giant poetry pleb, William Blake and Catullus are the only ones I've read so far that I got any enjoyment out of

Theres an awesome art song arrangement by Ned Rorem of Elizabeth Bishop's Bedlam, if you dig her it might be worth your time to check it out

>>9647502
Joseph Cadora. Grab his edition of Rilke's "New Poems" and make sure to read the introduction. Cadora's a master of translation (i've read both his translation and the original) and his translation could rightfully be studied as an art of its own.

>>9653017
Sir Phillip Sidney if you want to dive in to doe-eyed love.

Phillip Larkin if you want a bitterer contemporary.

>>9653023
sidney is great, he reminds me of shakespeare's sonnet 18, which is a good thing

>>9653017
john donne's ecstasy is the only love poem you will ever need
