English poets

Keats and colleagues

Writers of poetry in the English language, not necessarily from England.

The term encompasses poets from Britain, America, Ireland, and other English-speaking nations across centuries.

Milton and Dickinson are both English poets, though only one was English.

Context usually clarifies whether the phrase means "poets who write in English" or "poets from England."
