Love, forget about it.
I wonder what it would be like to fall in love again even if it hurt me like the other times--no, best to take some good poetry from the bookshelf, walk down to the lake, dangle my feet in the water, let the high summer sun scorch me, and wait for the mood to pass.

The idealist in me wants to promote the beauty of futility, but poetry is just too good to pass up sometimes. Who are your favorite poets?
I like Emily Dickinson and Wallace Stevens best. I discovered the poetry of Raymond Carver a few years ago, and reread his collected poems once or twice a year. I discovered Wislawa Szymborska about the same time as Carver and I like her a lot.
There are many American poets I like such as William Carlos Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Hart Crane, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, Sylvia Plath, Langston Hughes, Robert Lowell, etc.
