Shun the unbeliever! Shuuuun! (That's okay, I still love you. ^-^)
I think Angel would tend to like poetry with more of, um, an edge to it -- lots of angst and things. Which is why I thought of Dylan Thomas. And poets who write about redemption a lot, and "raging against the dying of the light", and suchlike. I also see him preferring at least some semblance of rhyme and rhythm to pure free-verse. And Buffy probably thinks it's all just weird. Hee. (We still need to find out what book it was that he gave her for her birthday. Watch that bit again and pause it, or something!)
Oh, wait! Trusty Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helpless_(Buffy_episode)) comes to the rescue again! "The book Angel gives to Buffy for her birthday is 'Sonnets From the Portuguese', by Elizabeth Barrett Browning." Angel, you have very good taste. ^-^ I may actually have that, or some of it. I'm not sure.
I like Wesley. He's so awkward and...awkward. (But he totally needs to learn to at least pretend he can kiss, instead of...writhing. Awkwardly. Heh. Poor Wesley. He probably watches too many movies.) And British. And I think the Council is...um, kind of like the UN. As in, probably in need of a great deal of reform, wot wot.
