	The only thing I would say about this is that it's probably better to use the name that the poet is commonly known by. So, for example, TS Eliot, or, to a lesser extent, WB Yeats. I, for one, know very few people who can spell Alighieri.

	If you want the full name, you should accept Percy Bysse Shelley.

	It's Edgar Allan Poe, not Allen. Why do we need to give the first names, anyway?

	It's annoying to ask for full names, but it's especially obnoxious to ask for full names and then not accept "Percy Bysshe Shelley."

	Changes have been made, thanks for the feedback. I did notice some of the concerns brought up after I had finished, I just ran out of time making it that day.

	You really should accept only last names. Also, I typed "Allen Ginsberg" in every way I could think of for a minute before I realized I was thinking about the wrong "America".

	Yeah, you should accept Ginsberg for America, since his "America" ("I put my queer shoulder to the wheel") is undoubtedly more well known than Whitman's.

	By the time I figured out that you wanted full names, I assumed you would want "William Butler Yeats" so that's what I typed. I think you should just accept last names. That said, great selection of poems and poets. Some of my favorites!

	America should be replaced. I'm sure more poets than just Ginsberg and Whitman have titled their poems America. Accept last names only.

	Please think about also accepting William Butler Yeats; It was very frustrating to know for a fact the full name of the poet and not have it accepted
