most of them are Dutch, so there isn't a lot of point in
posting their names.

I see Samuel Beckett's dramatic work as pure poetry, though.

ah, am just reading inferno.. almost halfway through --
canto xiv, already having nightmares. haven't heard of
kosovel -- just did a search, though, and he sounds
interesting.. i'll def. look for some translations. are you
slovenian?

yes i am...
here's a link to some info about kosovel and some of his
work translated to english

it's a great thing we had so many excellent poets, cuz it
simply doesn't work the same when translated...i noticed
this a lot, and my english is no where near good enough to
read poetry...unfortunately

i've noticed this with dante as well...i understand italian
enough to see his brilliance, and the lates collection of
his works i got was translated by another great slovenian
writer and he did a great work, but it simply doesn't work
as great as in italian...

bukowski

i'm sure there're tons more i just can't think of.

good poetry/writing can be amazing, bad poetry is horribly
painful

Poetry offers me nothing so I refuse to acknowledge it's
existence beyond the realms of this thread.
