Robert Burnes Halloween

I know that this is a bit late.. but please go read Robert Burnes' Halloween..
A good place to see it online is here
http://www.robertburns.org/works/74.shtml

to quote
The passion of prying into futurity makes a striking part of the history of human nature in its rude state, in all ages and nations; and it may be some entertainment to a philosophic mind, if any such honour the author with a perusal, to see the remains of it among the more unenlightened in our own.-R.B.1785

Since you're into poetry both bad and good, I thought I'd offer you the chance to discover Charles Buadelaire, if you haven't already. He put out a great collection of poems called Le Fleurs Du Mal (Flowers of Evil) and had many banned for their sexuality and whatnot. I got a copy at Borders and it was well worth it. You can find out about him at http://fleursdumal.org/

Nix says: I think they have copies of some of his work, as well.
