What other poets would I be likely to enjoy reading if I enjoy reading Auden and Eliot?


if enjoy eliot, should on of ezra pound's poetry. pound can extraordinarily difficult sometimes, start pieces such river merchant's wife or liu ch'e - , see how on other stuff.

has been mentioned, natural successor auden philip larkin - kingsely amis worth considering (and have tried thomas hardy, classic author auden himself owes to)?

robert lowell's life studies has major debt auden / hardy axis; though pays attention other important influences.

straying little further afield, robert graves relatively neglected major poet of twentieth century. alun lewis died young (in wwii) showed signs of dawning mastery, , robert frost (and english shadow edward thomas) other modern poets little appreciated.
