ANYTHING by whitman but ESPECIALLY song of myself (long but worth it, the final part is so good), crossing brooklyn ferry, hours continuing long, and the untold want. oh and also the love song of j alfred prufrock by by t.s. eliot is NOT overrated and is in fact THAT GOOD

first poem i loved and kept with me as a ripe 7th grader. read over and over to the point where it plays in my head, little things will remind me of it - foggy nights in the city or the ocean in winter or pondering my own mortality - and lines come flowing back
others stuck in my noggin include style by charles bukowski and the sunflower sutra by allen ginsberg. at this point i can probably recite a good number of billy collins works bc ive listened to the recorded album "the best cigarette" approximately 500 times

i'm not sure if you consider more recent classics but as a lit major here are some of my faves that could be considered classics: wuthering heights, pride and prejudice, song of solomon, the crying of lot 49, slaughterhouse five, 1984, hamlet, macbeth, and it's not a novel but the collected short stories of ernest hemingway... many of them are bangers. i'm not a hemingway novel fan but his short stories are often so good

literally love it so much and i'm always so happy when i leave there. the america windows are literally the most beautiful sight in real life like it will take your breath away. i had a cameron from ferris bueller's day off moment standing there staring at the america windows with tears in my eyes. and that movie was actually filmed at the art institute! so much to see i love the miniature rooms
