What meter are you using, what is the primary idea and arching themes of the piece, and what is the point of the undefined characters, the boxes?

It's quite long, so if you can give me a little insight before I die in, that'd help tremendously.

What undefined characters?

Before I get into it then, I would like to suggest that if you again create a piece of this length, free verse isn't your best bet. There needs to be something consistent for me, the reader, to fall onto; such as a repeated footing throughout, or a loose rhyme scheme--something where where I can hit it and feel the repetition and progression (rhythm) behind the words. Otherwise you're closer to purple prose than poetry, which I'm worried may be the case.
Once you address me about those blank characters, I'll get at it.

Why is he cowering like that?

>>9959210
He can't punched in the back of the head, but as long as he covers his head with his hands the fight won't be stopped because he's technically defending himself

Whomst are you quoting?

Waiting for Klamm was the one that had the biggest impact on me.

One of the last chapters. K. randomly enters Bürgel's room, who is a secretary of an official that has some responsibility on K.'s case. K. is dead tired and starts to fall asleep while Bürgel explains to him the low chances of them two meeting are, and how in such incredibly rare circumstances the party can just 'ask' and he will get his case solved.

I write it in Esperanto so as to confuse the local intelligence agencies. I also only use a quill, its sharp point doused in an invisible ink, you see, that not even my kin are allowed to unearth from the locked drawer within a locked drawer of my locked writing desk.

I try to write in my native language but I always end up writing in English since I live in an English speaking country and I speak this God forsaken language everyday. It feels bad because I love my native language I don't want to lose it.

Thats why I don't want to go to college
Trades are not such a good option in my country, and I know I will be hated and called a shithead for this, but I guess I will have a real hard time socializing at trade school because I'm a middle class autist that can only talk about abstractions (literature , music, humanities typical lit autism) and people who go to trade school are usually more of the sport's fans type, or other stuff like that.
But at college I would be in your same situation. Don't know whats worse, both options seem to end with me killing myself.
I really need to get a rich gf who lets me live the neetlife, but I'm ugly and autistic, there is zero hope.
I know I'm gonna make it, but I really don't see fucking how

the narrator is quoting a character

Always read aloud.
Prufrock is the best intro for modernism.
Read Frost and WCW at the same time.

Subscribe to a good poetry mag if you honestly want contemporary. Just don't get all triggered by liberals.

>>9958987
Oh and never, ever, ever try to 'understand' Ashbery. Just enjoy him.

>>9958987
The Waste Land is very dense. Perhaps save that for later. Just get a collection of Eliot's poetry, they're (the collections) typically short.
My best advice would be, yeah, start with Prufrock and then dip your toes in and around some of the other contemps. Typically they aren't as 'good' as older, more renowned pieces, but there are still gems within the contemporary scene.

Can someone here tell me something about an unabridged version in English?

What is this? I see it all the time in Right-wing threads but I have no idea what it's basis is and there is no information online

>>9958979
Yes

The only bloggers that are truly hated are those for whom blogging is their prime activity and their blogs are about whining about public affairs.

Talked a lot with my local (catholic) priest about masturbation before becoming an atheist
Found it really helpful at the time, and not weird at all. Might have been because I personally knew the guy.

>>9958968
I don't masturbate, I don't really worry abour lust issues so much as other things

Yes, this is the boomer mentality. They were the first generation to be cut off from their own heritage and raised on 100% jewish cultural indoctrination, mainly through television. Jews feel their main enemy is white men, so they have projected their hatred of us onto everyone else. This method, however, has been waring off with each subsequent generation of whites thereafter, and you are a testament to that OP. Now we have to hope minimal damage is caused between now, when the boomers die off, and when we are finally able to regain our strength and remove these jews for the whatever-hundredth time.

>>9958891
I hope you are just meming OP

I refuse to believe US education is in this state of degeneracy, you were meant to save western culture

I write this watching a pack of black africans that don't even speak my country's language just sitting on benches next to my house, texting and listening to music on smartphones they got for free from the government

Public or private? A real University or community college? The level of quality for an English 101 class varies wildly between these levels and the objective can be completely different. A community college course is trying to retain students and introduce them to slightly-better-than-highschool ideas. That means teaching to a lower common denominator and keeping students interested. A public University may still have some of those traits but with fully tenured professors who expect more. There's a lot of differences between professor to professor, school to school.
