    Mine is Edgar Allen Poe. Easily the greatest American writer and one of my favorite poets. Who do you like?

    While being a great writer, Ernest Hemingway is a complete dick.

    I honestly think Mao and Stalin's poems are very good.

    In the sense of poems, I really like Robert Frost (consdiered the people's poet in USSR even).
    John Steinback also with his happy endings.

    Good, that is how it is supposed to be!

    I would probably say Poe, Bukowski and fellow Norwegian Knut Hamsun

    I once saw a sparrow
    It soon got shot by an arrow
    The point was true
    Even when going trough
    That was a metaphor kind of resembling tee
    The whole point of this poem was saying me

    The first three names that randomly pop up in my head are: Raymond Feist, Tolkien and David Gemmel.

    And of course, Josef Stalin. His speeches are must-reads for everyone.

    Khalil Gibran.

    “Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,
    That we may record our emptiness.”
