What Famous American Poet Are You?
For me:



You are Sylvia Plath. People think you are sweet and pretty, but inside you are raging pit of ambition and despair. Darkness is your friend, and you would do well to avoid being alone.

1. I am John Ashbery


You are John Ashbery. People love your work but have no idea why, really. You are respected by all kinds of scholars and poets. Even artists like you.

I don't know. I'd never seen a pic of him before, and he looks somewhat like a serial killer.


Thanks, RL, that was fun.

6. Wallace Stevens


You are Wallace Stevens. You love everything, especially the sound of things. Too bad you are so obscure that at times even you don't understand what the hell you have written.
