Have there been any poetic movements after World War II that have come anywhere close to the level of popularity that Confessional poetry has? Under a broad definition, this label includes by far the most read post-war poets, such as Bukowski, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Plath, and so on. When normies read contemporary poetry, it's usually one of those four.
>inb4 hurr durr Bukowski was a hack, Plath is a proto-tumblrina
I'm not interested in rating their work, I just wonder if there are any poets as popular as the aforementioned that don't have Confessional traits to their poetry.
I'm a huge fan of Billy Collins, and I'd love to know what /lit/ thinks about his beloved poetic works. They lack the formal rigidity and intellectual pomp of the masters, but I find them quite moving nonetheless.
Is Tim Ferris a meme?
I read good things about his books, tools of titans in particular, but I trust only your's opinion anons
Does anyone know where to find The Book of Eibon by Clark Ashton Smith?
I searched everywhere.
My favorite part of this is that its a true story

I keep finding new books and adding them to my calibre library.
Who is David Baldoochee and why is everyone at the library that isn't me always checking his books out? Is he the new Tom Clancy? How can someone have so many books and be so popular but never mentioned anywhere by anyone?
Looking for some resources on 19 40’ 50’ and 60’s adventure and sci-fi themes/motifs/tropes for a RPG I am writing. I wish to see if they are compatible with my setting (taking place in 1963). Thanks ya’ll!

Books for this feel?
i don't get it
Today I opened a phyisical copy of Everyman's Library published hardback for the first time, and the print was shitty. Note that I checked multiple copies. So, can you recommend actual good hardback publisher (for classics)? How's Barnes and Noble (the print especially)?
