Which 18th century poet should I write my essay on?

so these are the options-

e.e. cummings - Is 5
Mary Oliver - House of Light
Robert Frost - North of Boston
Langston Hughes - The Panther and the Lash
Martin Espada - Imagine the Angels of Bread
Lawrence Ferlinghetti - A Coney Island of the Mind
Gwendolyn Brooks - The Bean Eaters (within the larger collected volume, Blacks)
Sylvia Plath - Ariel

I am just wondering from anyone who has read them, which ones have the most material on the internet about them, which ones are the least confusing, basically which ones you would recommend.

    e e cummings.
    for sure.
    he is my favorite poet of all time.
    Look into a couple of his other stuff such as::
    "l(a" ---- which is hard to understand at first but it really is amazing when you get it.

    and also

    "i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)"
    --my fav poem of all time. i know you'll love it.


    he isn't too terribly hard to understand. and he's done a TON of poems. there's stuff of his all over the internet. have fun!
