I've started a stricter poetry reading diet. I admire writers that can tell a good story. Even better than a good story, are the stories written by authors that just have a way with words and rhythm.
How better to dive into the true magicians of the written word than through their poetry? And by the way, some of them did not even write poetry, the lyricism is still there.
Give me Joyce, Nabokov, Hemingway, MacGowan, Dylan and Moore all day long.
PS I find Egon Schiele to be a poet as well, maybe the best of them all. He just did not use words, but rather lines and color.
