The Wilton Circle were an influential group of 16th-century English poets, led by Mary Sidney.
 They were based at Wilton House, Wiltshire, which was run by the half-brother of Walter Raleigh.
 Sidney turned Wilton into a "paradise for poets", and the circle included Edmund Spenser, Michael Drayton, Sir John Davies and Samuel Daniel.
Abraham Cowley ( ; 161828 July 1667) was an English poet born in the City of London late in 1618.
 He was one of the leading English poets of the 17th century, with 14 printings of his "Works" published between 1668 and 1721.
Mary Herbert, Countess of Pembroke (née Sidney; 27 October 1561 – 25 September 1621) was one of the first English women to achieve a major reputation for her poetry and literary patronage.
 By the age of 39, she was listed with her brother Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare, as one of the notable authors of her time in the verse miscellany by John Bodenham, "Belvedere".
 The influence of her "Antonius" is widely recognized: it stimulated a revived interest in the soliloquy based on classical models, and was a likely source (among others) for both the 1594 closet drama "Cleopatra" by Samuel Daniel and Shakespeare’s "Antony and Cleopatra" (1607).
 Sidney was also known for her translation of Petrarch's "Triumph of Death", but it is her lyric translation of the Psalms that has secured her poetic reputation.
Indian English Poetry is the oldest form of Indian English Literature.
 Indian poets writing in English have succeeded to nativize or indianize English in order to reveal typical Indian situations.
 Henry Louis Vivian Derozio is considered the first poet in the lineage of Indian English poetry followed by Sri Aurobindo, Sarojini Naidu, Michael Madhusudan Dutt, Toru Dutt among others.
 Among the contemporary Indian English Poets, Nar Deo Sharma occupies important place because of his literary achievements.
Decasyllabic quatrain is a term used for a poetic form in which each stanza consists of four lines of ten syllables each, usually with a rhyme scheme of AABB or ABAB.
 Examples of the decasyllabic quatrain in heroic couplets appear in some of the earliest texts in the English language, as Geoffrey Chaucer created the heroic couplet and used it in "The Canterbury Tales".
 The alternating form came to prominence in late 16th-Century English poetry and became fashionable in the 17th Century when it appeared in heroic poems by William Davenant and John Dryden.
 In the 18th Century famous poets such as Thomas Gray continued to use the form in works such as "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard".
 Shakespearean Sonnets, comprising 3 quatrains of iambic pentameter followed by a final couplet, as well as later poems in blank verse have displayed the various uses of the decasyllabic quatrain throughout the history of English Poetry.
George Puttenham (1529–1590) was a 16th-century English writer and literary critic.
 He is generally considered to be the author of the influential handbook on poetry and rhetoric, "The Arte of English Poesie" (1589).
Ignacio Lasso (1911 - 1943) was an Ecuadorian poet born in Quito.
 He was the mentor and founder of the magazine of the poets of Elan, a group integrated by Ecuadorian poets born between 1905 and 1920.
 He collaborated with several magazines of his time.
 Benjamin Carrión said of Lasso in 1937: "In spite of his brave incursions of high poetic value, Lasso is a poet with an American mind and European sensitivity.
 His legacy is more in line with the poets of ULISES in Mexico.
 We can clearly see the influence of the poet Jaime Torres Bodet”.
The term metaphysical poets was coined by the critic Samuel Johnson to describe a loose group of 17th-century English poets whose work was characterized by the inventive use of conceits, and by a greater emphasis on the spoken rather than lyrical quality of their verse.
 These poets were not formally affiliated and few were highly regarded until 20th century attention established their importance.
 Given the lack of coherence as a movement, and the diversity of style between poets, it has been suggested that calling them Baroque poets after their era might be more useful.
 Once the Metaphysical style was established, however, it was occasionally adopted by other and especially younger poets to fit appropriate circumstances.
Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674).
 The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse.
 A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's "Aeneid") with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification.
 It is considered by critics to be Milton's major work, and it helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time.
George Ellis FRS FSA (19 December 1753 – 10 April 1815) was a Jamaican-born English antiquary, satirical poet and Member of Parliament.
 He is best known for his "Specimens of the Early English Poets" and "Specimens of Early English Metrical Romances", which played an influential part in acquainting the general reading public with Middle English poetry.
