Do you have a favorite poet?

There are so many amazing poets it is tough to pick even a top three...let alone one single poet.

And so much great poetry never gets published. It is such a shame.

The first three poets that pop into my mind when evaluating the quality of work, in no order, are: William Blake, Jim Morrison, and Maya Angelou.
