Introduction
English poetry is not well-known by foreigners. Only a few poets are studied during English classes. Nevertheless, for the one who likes poetry, it is a way of discovering differently the sound of the English language. Even if the grammar is harder to understand, it helps to keep in mind some structures.
In my blog, I am going to present some short poems I like. There are texts from various ages. The evolution of the style and language could remind what happened in France. Some of the texts will be taken from Poetry Foundation.
Readings from artists are also a good way to hear the pronunciation of verses. I will put links for listening to. I will put translation of atypical vocabulary about poems, and I will redact a short presentation of poets and their periods.

How you say : « English poetry is not well-known by foreigners ». And that is true. I know nothing about English poetry ; at school, we study English songs, movies, novels… But we don’t study English poetry. So it could be interesting to learn about an other part of the British culture.
Writing is reflexion of a time. So, it’s a good thing to show the style evolution. Because when you see the language evolution, you see at the same time the society evolution. And you learn a lot of things when you know how people wrote decades ago.
