A poet is someone who writes poetry. A poet exists within a cultural and intellectual tradition and usually writes in a specific language. Some feel that the qualities of good poetry are to some extent timeless and address issues common to all humanity; others are more interested in the particular and the ephemeral.
In the English language, poets often considered to be some of the most influential and profound include Chaucer, W.B. Yeats, Wordsworth, and T.S. Eliot. The English poets also gave birth to a revolutionary form of poetry called free verse. Believed to have originated with Walt Whitman, free verse is not bound by rhyme or meter. In the Western tradition, Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Goethe round out a basic list. In world poetry, Li Bai, Du Fu, Basho, and Omar Khayyám complete one defensible canon. As the very definition of a canon is political and personal, and the notion of poetry itself is fluid and subject to change, complete objectivity is impossible. Relying on numerous inclusionist lists is a possible, partial solution.
