Still other selections by our staff are less well-known, but critically acclaimed, such as Julie Fogliano (Alison, Materials Management at Headquarters), Galway Kinnell (Sharon, Odenton Regional Library), performance poet Neil Hilborn (Katelyn, Crofton Library), Maggie Smith and her viral piece “Good Bones” (Stephanie, Riviera Beach Library), and Amanda Lovelace, specifically her books Women Are Some Kind of Magic and Break Your Glass Slippers (Melissa, Cataloguing Services at Headquarters). Others are so well-known as to perhaps already be familiar names even for those less familiar with the canons poetry, such as Langston Hughes (Monica, Odenton Regional Library), Rumi (Veronica, Mountain Road Library), Philip Levine (Andy, Severna Park Library), Ann Sexton and Sylvia Plath (Sharon, Odenton Regional Library) and Rainer Maria Rilke (Veronica, Mountain Road Library). Vincent Millay (Darnice, Maryland City at Russett Library), specifically “ Love Is Not All - Sonnet XXX”, “ A Modern Declaration” and “ Renascence” (Amanda, Glen Burnie Regional Library).

Some of the poets cited by our staff are Pulitzer Prize winners like Mary Oliver (Monica, Odenton Regional Library Sarah, Virtual Services at Headquarters) and Edna St. The poet most frequently cited as a favorite by our library colleagues was Amanda Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in history (Melinda, Crofton Library Amanda, Glen Burnie Regional Library Darnice, Maryland City at Russett Library and Jennifer, Severna Park Library). Where possible, we have linked to titles in our library collection, but in cases where our system doesn’t offer works by suggested poets, we have linked to other digital resources for you to explore.
