Favourite poets

My favorite poet right now is almost certainly Sylvia Plath. I think her use of syntax and allusions is unparalleled by any other poet. I also admire her Confessionalist style of subject matter, which led to her becoming one of the most renowned Confessionalist poets. I also thoroughly enjoyed reading her book, The Bell Jar. My favorite poem of hers would be "Lady Lazarus" for the aforementioned reasons.

She is absolutely awesome with her use of words.
