Severin’s Choice: 100 Best Actual Poets in the World

Severin’s Choice: 100 Best Actual Poets in the World

Henri Michaux-Ink, 1960

100 Best Actual Poets in the World

Work in progress. This year I read in English over 1,000 poets from all the world in order to make the list, which is not yet a final one, maybe. With few exceptions, my research was dedicated to the actual, new, original voices in poetry, who could become important names for the universal literature of the future. If a major publisher will be interested by my concept, I will write short presentations for every poet and I will pick up 1-5 of their best poems.

[Este año he leído en Inglés más de 1.000 poetas de todo el mundo para hacer la lista, que todavía no es final, tal vez. Con pocas excepciones, mi investigación se dedicó a los reales, voces nuevas y originales de la poesía, que podrían llegar a ser importantes nombres de la literatura universal del futuro. Si una gran editorial se interesa por mi concepto, voy a escribir una breve presentación de cada poeta y voy a recoger a 1-5 de sus mejores poemas.]
