@Adam Gary thanks for the welcome and the recommendations! (as for the non-English poetry, - for those who'd be interested, though I'm not sure all have great translations - in Dutch poetry I really like Piet Paaltjens, Lieke Marsman, Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, .. and Wolfgang Borchert and Rainer Maria Rilke lately/primarily in German)

Hi everyone! I'm new to the poetry cove, and to poetry in general to be fair. I'm 20 years old, and studying philosophy at university while also doing a preparatory year at art school (hoping to get into the fine arts or design programme). I got a bit into poetry when we had literature class in high school, but that was mostly in Dutch. Now I'm trying to get to know English language poetry too. I've been reading Dickinson and Plath mostly - so if anyone has any more (contemporary) recommendations I'd love to hear them! Looking forward to reading your stuff and learning a lot here on the forum! (And maybe having my stuff be read/feedbacked too..)
