Schuyler was a mentor and friend of Trinidad, very long, very moving poems that feel very grounded, would also recommend the late Ed Smith (Punk Rock is Cool for the End of the World), who is irreverent yet lovely.
Schuyler in general is fantastic as are the people he influenced (David Trinidad and I believe to some extent Trinidad’s contemporary Ed Smith) but he has such a particular control over form and space here
