    I looked up Yoko Matsuoka on Google, but there were 100s, so I don’t know if Yoko is a he or a she. But as for the rest of your list, why no women? You might add Anne Sexton, Jane Kenyon, Grace Bauer, and Alicia Ostriker.

    Thank you for your comment. You’re right! I do in fact read some Christina Rosetti. Yoko Matsuoka is a personal friend, and not yet world famous. May I send you a few of her poems? I will look up those poets very soon.

    Those are awesome guys, but I personally miss seeing Henry W. Longfellow, John G. Whittier, and Lord Byron. I don’t know Herrick, but I definitely know Yoko!! I’m your fellow fan there.
