Percy Bysshe Shelley, andGeorge Gordon Noel, Lord Byron
Byron and Shelley and KeatsWere a trio of Lyrical treats.The forehead of Shelley was cluttered with curls,And Keats never was a descendant of earls,And Byron walked out with a number of girls,But it didn’t impair the poetical featsOf Byron and Shelley,Of Byron and Shelley,Of Byron and Shelley and Keats.
Seriously, if you don’t know who they are they pick up a book. Percy Bysshe Shelley was married to Mary Shelley whom you might know from her amazing novel Frankenstein which he wrote when she was only 21. And I knew all that without asking Google (or any other search engine).

Never heard of “poetry slams” before, and it sounds like I wasn’t missing anything.

Also, Shelley was a very accomplished poet in his own right — I studied him in high school.
