I'm French native speaker. I believe I can speak fluent English but I know want to discover English poetry. Where should I start ?

a decent place to start

Thank you. That is exactly what I'm looking for. I have time to find later a poet I would like.

What is AVE English by the way?

AAVE (I made a typo) is "African-American Vernacular English"
