Question

How can I become a great poet like William Shakespeare?

Community Answer

First of all, keep on writing. You can take some writing classes, whether in person or online. Also consider doing theatre, as it may help you with the emotional aspect of poetry. Shakespeare, in his time, was a modern poet. So instead of copying Shakespeare's style, focus on becoming a great poet of the current age.

Question

If I want to be a famous poet how do I do it?

Community Answer

Poets don't really achieve fame outside of their own niche, but learn the language and learn to love the language, and learn how to work with it in your own way. Find a decent writing workshop and keep working at it.
