I like both Spoon River Anthologies. I like what I've read of Langston Hughes (those poems actually reminded me of the Spoon River Anthologies a bit). I like Rudyard Kipling and Robert Frost. I like some Emily Dickinson but don't always get the point. I like most Edna St Vincent Millay. I have fond memories of Robert Louis Stevenson, but I'm not sure if he'd appeal to me without the nostalgia. I have similar memories of some bits of Edward Lear.
Let's see... Some Edgar Allen Poe and some Lewis Carroll but not all of either. I've read and liked some Ogden Nash and William Blake (just the stuff that everyone knows. I seem to recall reading that his stuff gets... odd. Is that correct?) but not enough to generalize to liking all of their work.
I bounced hard off of Christina Rossetti and couldn't get into Hilda Doolittle's poetry.
