??????????

you’re kidding, right     ?    :)

Deadly serious.Byron is terrible along with Wordsworth, Shakespeare, Cummins, Rosetti et al.
Henry Lawson and Banjo Patterson are much much better.
😂😂😂😂😂

you’ve converted me

You might be beyond conversion but sometimes poetry other than the Romantics makes for good reading.
To be honest some of the efforts on DUP are quite brilliant.... don't you agree?

I agree there are some, but to be frank, when I feel like reading brilliant poetry
I tend to turn to my bookshelves than to my laptop.

You are so bang on.Poetry is as much tactile as visual like you I've found reading poetry from books gives me an opportunity to reflect which no binary outpt can.

always liked secondhand bookshops, finding things I
didn’t know I was looking for, like Robert Service’s Ballads
Of A Bohemian, for instance, and a slim volume from the 1930s
of WH Auden. I like serendipity

Auden is vastly underrated.

and his mate, Louis Macneice, even more

I've never heard of LM but I'm going to now.

you’ll love him

Indeed I think I do....he's bookmarked now.
