William Blake is my favorite but Poe is right up there.
My Daughter likes Poe and he is her favorite.
Once I was telling a 7th grade class about poetry. I mentioned “The Raven”. and told them I wished I had it right then to read to them.
A little boy raised his hand and said he could get it from the library which I had him do.
After I read it to the class, they all stood up and applauded. I would say they liked it.
My sixth grade class didn’t like it much. I think it was that half of them were english language learners.
