Shelley? Whitman? Ginsberg, even?

^^^^^ CB: Maybe . I'd like to develop a more complete list
I think of Shelley, Whitman and Ginsberg as "direct" artists and less critics, but I might have that wrong. There's Byron , too. However, Shelley and Byron were in nationalist revs.
I know Bloom is a favorite , but he's rightish.
I'm thinking , hypothetically, that the problem is being imbued with Greco-Roman values from focus on classics. Greece and Roma are literally reactionary intellectual locations. Also , I'm thinking 20th , 21st Century, though Ginsberg and N break that correlation.
