Robert William Service (January 16, 1874 – September 11, 1958) was a poet and writer who has often been called "the Bard of the Yukon".

William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Authorship Around 230 years after Shakespeare’s death, doubts began to be expressed about the authorship of the works attributed to him. Proposed alternative candidates include Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe, and Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford. Several “group theories” have also been proposed. All but a few Shakespeare scholars and literary historians consider it a fringe theory, with only a small minority of academics who believe that there is reason to question the traditional attribution, but interest in the subject, particularly the Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship, continues into the 21st century.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (4 August 1792 – 8 July 1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets and is critically regarded as among the finest lyric poets in the English language. Shelley was famous for his association with John Keats and Lord Byron. The novelist Mary Shelley (née Godwin) was his second wife. Shelley's unconventional life and uncompromising idealism, combined with his strong disapproving voice, made him a marginalized figure during his life, important in a fairly small circle of admirers, and opened him to criticism as well as praise afterward.

Carl Sandburg was born in Galesburg, Illinois, on January 6, 1878. His parents, August and Clara Johnson, had emigrated to America from the north of Sweden. After encountering several August Johnsons in his job for the railroad, the Sandburg's father renamed the family. The Sandburgs were very poor; Carl left school at the age of thirteen to work odd jobs, from laying bricks to dishwashing, to help support his family. At seventeen, he traveled west to Kansas as a hobo. He then served eight months in Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American war. While serving, Sandburg met a student at Lombard College, the small school located in Sandburg's hometown. The young man convinced Sandburg to enroll in Lombard after his return from the war.

Alfonsina Storni Martignoni (Sala Capriasca, Suiza, 29 de mayo de 1892 – Mar del Plata, Argentina, 25 de octubre de 1938) fue una poetisa y escritora argentina del modernismo. Su prosa es feminista y, según la crítica, posee una originalidad que cambió el sentido de las letras de Latinoamérica. En su poesía deja de lado el erotismo y aborda el tema desde un punto de vista más abstracto y reflexivo. Sus composiciones reflejan, además, la enfermedad que padeció durante gran parte de su vida y muestran la espera del punto final de su vida, expresándolo mediante el dolor, el miedo y otros sentimientos desmotivacionales.
Siegfried Loraine Sassoon (8 September 1886 – 1 September 1967) was an English poet, author and soldier. Decorated for bravery on the Western Front, he became one of the leading poets of the First World War. His poetry both described the horrors of the trenches, and satirised the patriotic pretensions of those who, in Sassoon's view, were responsible for a vainglorious war. He later won acclaim for his prose work, notably his three-volume fictionalised autobiography, collectively known as the "Sherston Trilogy". Motivated by patriotism, Sassoon joined the British Army just as the threat of World War I was realised, and was in service with the Sussex Yeomanry on the day the United Kingdom declared war (4 August 1914). He broke his arm badly in a riding accident and was put out of action before even leaving England, spending the spring of 1915 convalescing.
Hello and welcome. I don't know what brought you to my profile, but I do hope you enjoy my few pieces. I lack form and style, and could care less about using either in my poetry to be quite frank. I write my poetry from the heart (sorry for the -true- cliché), it is my escape, and I do hope that my words can reach others. But that's enough about me, take a look at a few of my poems if you so desire and send me critiques/commentary if you feel inclined to do so. Thanks for considering viewing my page as being worth your time.
Félix María Samaniego(Laguardia, 1745- id., 1801) Escritor español, famoso por sus Fábulas morales. Junto con Tomás de Iriarte es considerado el mejor de los fabulistas españoles; la violenta enemistad surgida entre ambos ha pasado a la historia de la literatura. Perteneciente a una familia noble y rica, tras los primeros estudios (llevados a cabo en el hogar paterno) fue enviado a cursar derecho a la Universidad de Valladolid, donde permaneció dos años sin llegar a concluir la carrera. En un viaje de placer a Francia se entusiasmó con los enciclopedistas, y se quedó mucho tiempo en tierra francesa; allí se le contagió la inclinación a la crítica mordaz contra la política y la religión tan grata a los hombres del siglo, y cierto espíritu libertino y escéptico que le indujo a burlarse de los privilegios y a rechazar, incluso, un alto empleo en la corte que le ofreció el conde de Floridablanca.
José Asunción Silva (Bogotá, 1865 - 1896) Poeta colombiano. En la historiografía literaria suele reconocérsele como el gran iniciador del modernismo en Hispanoamérica, que el nicaragüense Rubén Darío llevaría a la cúspide. Dotado de una gran sensibilidad humana y artística y de una notable inteligencia, tuvo una formación literaria precoz, resultado de un ambiente familiar cultivado y creativo. Se suicidó a sus 30 años dándose un tiro en el corazón con un revólver Smith & Wesson, y se cuenta que se encontró el libro El Triunfo de la muerte de Gabriele D'Annunzio, a la cabecera de su lecho. Su suicidio se debió a su escasez de dinero, entre otras variadas causas detalladas por expertos y conocidos suyos y del medio social bogotano de la época.
