George Szirtes is a Hungarian-born, English poet, winner of the T.S. Eliot prize for poetry no less. He posts regularly on X/Twitter - no judgement - and has adapted his poetry there to the imposed character limit - or at least the previous limit. His poetry is reflexive and melancholic, sparse and taut. His poems seem, to me at least, to also carry the weight of aging. I'll post some of his stuff here and link to the original via Nitter.
