I'd nominate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (brilliant performer, began composing at early age, left a huge volume music when he died early) or Johann Sebastian Bach (inventor or at least early practitioner of the well-tempered scales which allow transposition into any scale without getting dissonances, as well as a very productive componist). Modern music still borrows from them.

Majakovsky, Lermontov, Gogol, Evtushenko, Esenin, Bulgakov, Nabokov\nAnd women too: Anna Ahcmatova, Alexandra Kollontaj, Svetlana Alliluyeva, Marina Tsvetaeva.

Flannery O'Connor was a remarkable Southern writer who combined her Catholicism with her gentility to record acutely beautiful tales of her world (though they may seem harsh to many).  William Faulkner was another brilliant Southern writer who chose to display the seeming madness of his culture and society through his characters.  As to Ezra Pound:  he wrote much earlier than the former two and I really don't know as much about him.  Sorry.

Depends on what era you're talking about. If it's old music, I'd say Irving Berlin, Ira Gershwin or Cole Porter, but modern day geniuses include Bob Dylan, Lennon/McCartney, Jagger/Richards etc. If it's folk singing, then try Woddy Guthrie and Huddie Ledbetter. If it's musicals Rogers and Hammerstein, Lerner and Loewe etc. To be honest, it all depends on what you like, but also what genre you're talking about.

http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Similie This is pretty straightforward.\n\nCheck out T.S. Eliot. http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html has some of his work.  My favorite is in the first stanza of "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock."

Considered one of the great English literaries of our time, Charles Dickens captured the imaginations of his readers with timeless characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Oliver twist, and rich story telling in books such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities.  His popularity today is as strong as ever and evident by the fact that none of his works have ever gone out of print.\n\nThere is a start......

I think you may be right - Tupac has the most poshumous albums.  But Jimi Hendrix is probably a very close 2nd place - he had more posthumous albums than when he was alive.

How about Gary William Crawford?\n\nHe's American (although from the South, rather than New England) and he writes dark (maybe even Gothic) poetry and short fiction.
