Poets of other languages

Penny's Poetry Pages focus on poetry written in English. Occasionally, though, we will print articles on poets who write in another language, either because of their contribution to the art, or because of a connection (such as translation) with a writer in English.

The following list is in no way definitive nor representative of the contributions to world literature of any language group.

Ancient Greek

 * Sappho (c.630-570 BC)

French

 * Émile Nelligan (1879-1941)

Italian

 * Petrarch (1304-1374)

Spanish

 * Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986)
