#SevenPoems
1. Kaddish, Alan Ginsberg

"Prayer of the Traveler Mr. Cogito," Zbigniew Herbert
"The Contract Says: We'd Like the Conversation to Be Bilingual," Ada Limón
"The Garden," R. S. Thomas
"Maisie," James Merrill
"1995. After the Streetlights Drink Whatever Darkness Is Left," Hanif Abdurraqib
"Noises Off," Ken Smith
"The Two Trees," Larry Levis

Instead of #sevenbooks to get to know me, what about #sevenpoems? Do we do that here?

1. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe
2. Renascence by Edna St. Vincent Millay
3. Because I could not stop for Death by Emily Dickinson
4. Ozymandias by P.B. Shelley
5. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
6. Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson
7. The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot

Quite a predictable list, but these are the ones that made me fall in love with poetry. I have most of these memorized (i.e., not the Waste Land)
