autobiography of red is her most well known one, my favourite of hers though is h of h playbook
these are more verse novels than a traditional poetry collection, but all of her work is beautiful and often I find quite accessible
other authors I love are Mahmoud Darwish and Seamus Heaney

Being very honest I'm not a big reader of poetry, but I'm glad I took a chance with Autobiography of Red, which is literary poetry.
It's so delicate and has an amazing ability to express the environment and the characters.
It has a unique flow and you feel floating through thick magma with the unclear pace of time and dream like quality.

Some of the above poets have twitters/insta you can follow to keep up with their work!
I also suggest following some publishers and presses that publish poetry to hear about new poets and their collections!
I really like:
• Copper Canyon Press
• Graywolf Press
• Coffee House Press
• Wave Books
• Button Poetry
Happy reading, from one poet to another 💗

I’m not sure if this one counts as underrated but it’s my favourite!
the music (esp the opening scenes), the dynamic between Pazu and Sheeta (Pazu is the sweetest ghibli hero imo), giant robots, ancient floating castles, the usual ghibli focus on nature, love, friendship, etc etc
oh and of course the old lady sky pirate and her band of idiot sons
another honourable mention has gotta be Nausicaä
