I’ve always, always loved the classics: Plato (especially!), Homer, Ovid (though I can’t stand Aristotle). In terms of classic it, my knowledge skews in three directions: Enlightenment works; works crafted both during the fin de siècle (I am a sucker for Doyle & Katherine Mansfield & the list is endless), and afterward; and essays from many different eras (ancient to present… if you want a great overview of essays, check out the surveys put together by John D’Agata… he’s literally the nicest man, and ridiculously sharp). Sadly, as much as I do read (and appreciate) poetry, my working knowledge pales to that of prose; some favorites would be Keats, Yates, cummings, and Anne Carson. Fun fact: I cannot write poetry to save my life, but I’d like to think that my images have their roots in it.

No, but really, my poetry is horrid.

You’ve nailed me dead to rights. :-)
