I love Jewel's poetry book A Night Without Armor. It was one of the first I ever bought and I love modern free verse poetry, so it was refreshing and interesting.

I like ee cummings, langston hughes, gwendolyn brooks, bukowski, nikki giovani aw honey, carl sandburg (sometimes), shel silverstein... trying to get into Walt Whitman but it keeps going over my head heh

one book I really really enjoy is Genius B-Boy Cynics Getting Weeded In the Garden of Delights (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0966646959/sr=8-1/qid=1151369939/ref=sr_1_1/102-8109697-5001706?ie=UTF8) by Adam Mansbach

BUKOWSKI DID HIS OWN THING. NOT LIKE THAT BORING, REGULAR POETRY. ALOT OF TIMES IT LOOKED LIKE HE WOULD SCRIBBLE THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED INTO HIS HEAD.
