Who are the best living poets in your opinion? I know a lot of you are going to say “none” but there has to be some that are good.
I only really know British and Irish poetry, but Alice Oswald, John Burnside, Michael Longley, Gjertrud Schnackenburg, Fiona Benson, Toby Martinez de la Rivas, Sinead Morrissey & JH Prynne are all pretty good. Don't know about 'best', it's not the Olympics.

>>23316696The person replying to you wasn't me.

Here's an essay on him quoting some poems: https://fortnightlyreview.co.uk/2012/10/anthony-barnett/

I don't know a single living poet. May as well be a dead art form.
>>23317330That's some impressive solipsism anon. I don't know any baseball players, so I suppose nobody plays it
There can be no poetry after Auschwitz.
