The Top 10 Poets – Died Under 30: Five poems each from the best poets who sadly died under 30 years old

The language of Poetry is an art that most of us attempt at some point in our lives. Although its commonplace exposure has been somewhat marginalised in today’s often fast-paced lives we all recognise good verse that can empathise with our thoughts or open us up to experience new things in new ways, to better understand and to enjoy the many strands of our lives.
But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy.

In this volume we gather some of those poets who perished before they reached the age of 30. Whether by war, their own hand, accident or other cause their legacies are a bright reminder of just how talented their short lives were.
