So I've been writing some poetry with the intent of publishing, and I figured I had to get a sense of what the poetic world looks like these days. I'm not impressed. I'm not like, a Trump die-hard, but I get pretty bored of victimhood, trauma, critical race theory, etc. not to mention how self-absorbed poets seem to be now. I know it's pretty stupid that as a white male I feel excluded, but there it is. The recent issue of poetry magazine had one male writer out of about twenty five. I write about things like meaninglessness, mortality, and the omnipresence of brutality (just taking notice of it, not condemning it). I also refuse to use the word "I" unless I'm explicitly writing a song. So, with that kind of introduction to myself, does anybody have any recommendations of poets currently alive and writing that might appeal to me?
