I also like Poe, Shakespeare, and Blake. I don’t think I’ve ran into any free verse poetry that I like.

I know I’m being a pedantic asshole here but like … most of Blake’s poetry is more or less free verse (the term didn’t exist yet, but the prophetic books don’t have any easily recognisable metre)

Oh HELL yeah. I’ve been waiting for this Seven Sermons jackass to show up here.

These right-libertarian “literary gadfly” characters get more useless with each new generation.
