Well, the nomination was made and voted in on the work in general, so I'd say read as one pleases, and when it comes time for discussion anyone can discuss any poems one wants!
I have (quickly) tried to find a list of his "most famous" or "best" poems without much success except for a very few that have mostly already been noted above.
As for me, after reading the latest posts, I have updated my plan a bit. I am buying the first edition (150th anniversary one for the notes) in addition to the deathbed edition I already have. Though I've already read a bit of the deathbed edition, I plan now to switch and read the first edition first, then *try* to read the deathbed edition, skimming over the poems that are repeats only watching for any changes.
I figure (and hope!) that with this plan, it should be around the same amount of reading anyway since I'll just skim what I've already read the second go-round, and this way I'll get the feeling for the first edition as well.
From what I've read so far, some poems are challenging (Eidolons!) but I'm enjoying it.
