When I'm asked, I usually say Tennyson or Bukowski, depends on the mood I'm in.

Anyone here like Billy Collins? It's the only American poet I know quite well. (Native favorites are Ingmar Heytze, Arjen Duinker and Jan Hanlo)
Besides, do you people genuinely like classic poetry like Yeats and Rimbaud? Cos it's so damn hard to get into, even if it sounds nice. (I'll make an exception for Baudelaire, he is just cool)
