Books were good. Cursed Child is possibly the worst thing in the history of the English language. Never should have been released.

Is he actually linguistically retarded? How is this clueless guy one of the most well-known contemporary British poets? If we wrote fiction or something I'd be more forgiving, but holy shit if you're doing poetry shouldn't you have a child's grasp of the differences between major language families?

There is a 'deleuze dictionary' of sorts that can be a used a reference book while reading his texts.
I would say look for it and keep it aside when reading him / read it before to familiarize yourself with the concepts and ideas he uses.

read a lot of books, and whenever you see a word you don't know, look up the definition.

Then when you are your daily writing later, try to incorporate the word into your daily writing.
