“Classic,“ commonly defined as a body of work of recognized and established value, is further defined here for our purposes as poets who are widely read, have been studied academically, and whose work is in the public domain. This is not to be confused with the other definition of “classic” as involving notable works of Ancient Greek and Latin literature. Many of these poets likely studied Ancient Greek and Roman literature, and our name is obviously a nod to the Ancient Greek concept of the muses. But rest assured we are not confused, and we are confident you won’t be confused either. 😀
