The natural gift of being a poet is rare just like the gift of being left handed. We've composed a growing list of poets along with pictures of them using their left hand and accompanying biographies. We strive hard to provide the most accurate information possible, so if we couldn't find a picture, we didn't list them as a left handed poet. Some may be missing if we couldn't find proof.
