“Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.” ~E.A.P~ Definitely Poe! At least, he’s the most famous of the dark poets…

On “dark”, I think of H.P. Lovecraft. But he’s not “emo”. He’s just dark.

Another name that comes to my mind is Paul Celan. Especially his “Todesfuge” (death fugue). Gives you the creeps…
