Among Swiss poets (artists who write poems) Maria Lauber is the one whom I admire most. She wrote in a language she herself called Frutigtütsch which is so different from most of Swiss German that it could be considered another language. Different grammar, different vocabulary... like Catalan to Castilian, or Spanish to Portuguese.
