I think @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears would be best suited to answer this question for you. His knowledge of English language poetry is extensive.

Thanks for the suggestion, in fact I looked extensively at his items and profile and he seems very grounded on that. I hope he'll take time to drop a comment here! Thanks

Sorry, I was mostly offline yesterday, but I think between the comments here and in #656300, most of the bases are covered. It's hard approaching poetry in a language that's not your native one, since emotion and imagery are the easiest things to lose in translation, but approaching a variety of poets and genres to see what clicks with seems like the best way to start.
