Thanks for your response! I don't actually have that deep a knowledge in poets/poetry at least in the present, Byrons and Shakepseares aside. I've seen some performances of spoken word that I loved, and recently read some Frank O'Hara as _refugee_ recommended. O'Hara was on point with the style that I was looking for, similar to the way Kurt Vonnegut would write, a disregard to the excess and convolution that might come with the traditional standards of "quality" writing. I'll take any suggestions you can give me but I will absolutely keep digging in and reading as much as i can :) thanks again!
