Two very different poets have finished as first place favorites of Poetry’s poll participants.
The most recent poll asked the question: “Of the following poets, which one do you most admire?” The choices were Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Sylvia Plath, W. B. Yeats, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
I was heartened that every poet received a percentage of the vote. They stack up a follows:
Sharing first place:
- Robert Frost 30.77%
- Sylvia Plath 30.77%
Sharing second place:
- Emily Dickinson 15.38%
- W. B. Yeats 15.38%
Coming in third:
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning 7.69%
