Similar to @Shen Friebe and @Jay Ehros Rosing I'd go with the Romantics, too. I loved studying Romanticism at uni
18th Century Romanticism! Academic poetry, poetry about history, myths and legends, poems about religion (i.e. poems that contemplate moral and philosophical conundrums by using God and the Devil as motifs), maybe Victorian or Georgian styles of language and poetry. I'm a sucker for these epics times in our literary history. There is something beautiful, enchanting and nostalgic about poems like this that caught us off-guard and captivated us back in high school and/or university. In such a chaotic, contemporary age like ours where modern 'pop' poetry has kind of lost its spark, I think we need to go waaaaay back and revive what worked so well in the past. The bottom line is, one way or another, we need more *magic*!
