A few modern poets were. William Butler Yeats is another I know of. His image is somewhat sanitized because he’s an important national poet for Ireland, but he was a rich asshole who was supportive of the fascist movements in Ireland (Blueshirts) and abroad (Francoist Spain). Similar (but less overt) is T. S. Eliot, who also became sympathetic to fascism later in life.
