Entry: Taki's List Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/takis_list#247 Post contents: Any list of great poets that doesn't include W.H. Auden is suspect. Go back and read "The Shield of Achilles". Most poetry today may be crap (with some exceptions, e.g., some of Frederick Seidel's work), but some poetry of the early 20th Century exceeded the best of what came before. For example, Wilfred Owen's war poetry makes anything by Byron and his Romantics sound like something written by an adolescent girl. Sent at: 2008 08 30
