>poem for the victims of the Orlando shooting
i don't particularly like poems about some topical event, not inspired by, but directly about, the event will pass and be forgotten and the poem will usually be forgotten even faster. also it frankly usually feels fake too

as for the poem, he overdoes alliteration way too much and the whole poem reads as if he, by lyon sprague de camp's method, picked random words from the dictionary and put them into his poem, only caring that they would begin with the letter which he currently needs

Anything that has to do with the holocaust. The Jews get their property griefed by the OP Nazis.

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut. Slaughterhouse-Five.

Just read Libra, it was gud

>>8160346

Yeah, I just finished that and I agree. Better than his more acclaimed works that I've read.

Stop shilling this piece of shit, his writing is nothing but le quirky deadpan non-sequiturs. He's to blame for alt-lit lowercase twittershit like Mira and Jackie Chan

>>8160271
What's the Triple Goddess?

>>8160339

Refers to any 3fold goddess, such as Artemis (maiden), Selene (mother), and Hecate (crone). Or the 3 Fates, or 3 Muses (sometimes multiplied into 9 muses).

They are usually associated with the moon and its phases (New Moon, Full Moon, Waning Moon) which in turn refer to the seasons of the year and stages of life

Hesiod names Hecate as the most important of the gods and goddesses but the translator also notes is may be a local thing and Hecate was important from where he was.

>It can't just be haphazard and pointless, can it?
It isn't: the lines in free verse are often determined by rhythm or rhyme, and, I've noticed, normally focus on a single image or idea. That said, there are plenty of hacks--Bukowski, Gonzalez, Kaur--who think free verse means you can do whatever the fuck you want, and that one-word lines are cool and deep and not complete rhythmic fuck-ups.

it's not haphazard or pointless, and like >>8160250 said, the lines usually follow some kind of rhythm or rhyme. the best free verse poetry still "sings" or whatever the way other poetry does, it just doesn't follow a rigid set of rules.
Walt Whitman is a good example: his poetry still has a musicality or rhythm to it, and what makes him an important poet is that he achieves a distinct rhythm in his poetry that doesn't depend on preconceived poetic forms, which is why we love him in the US.
Emily Dickinson's poetry is also a good example because it seems more traditional (rhymes and such) but is actually really fucking weird.

OP, just do what I do and declare that free verse isn't poetry. Eject Whitman from the poetry canon, he doesn't belong there. Create some new class of word-art so he can squat there like the mongrel he is. It's not poetry.

>>8160099
You don't have severe depression or depression altogether. If you, by some anomaly, do, post a prescription for meds. Oh wait, you are in USA, you don't actually need to have depression, just to be sad - and you are really sad, posting THIS FUCKING THREAD FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME NIGGER KILL YOURSELF

Book of Disquite or Notes whatever fuck off

>>8160105
Been a neet for 4 years and spend most of my time laying in bed staring at the ceiling. What do I have? I don't feel profound sadness or anything at all

>>8160113
Being worthless is not a condition, though. It's a consequence of your actions

Hemingway, Ernest. A writer of books for boys. Certainly better than Conrad. Has at least a voice of his own. Nothing I would care to have written myself. In mentality and emotion, hopelessly juvenile. Loathe his works about bells, balls, and bulls.

>>8160091
Wonder why you stopped short. He liked The Old Man and the Sea, The Killers, and A Clean Well Lighted Place

Based.

Surprised he considers Austen 'great' though? Pretty sure I remember reading him saying that women are 'in another class'. etc.

Also I'd like his opinion on Woolf.

>>8159707
You have to stick with it. Erikson doesn't explain anything. I'm enjoying the series so far (just finished House of Chains).

A masterful blend of Dragon Ball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh!

>>8159707
It's shit, you'll hate it.

Don't know the author but for counter-enlightenment the works of Jonathan Swift are top notch.

Anyone? ;-;

>>8159680
Hamann you fucking son of a bitch, also, how the fuck can you even care about the counter-enlightenment without even knowing shit about the Enlightenment, what are you going to do, read the various critiques (Schelling, Kierkegaard, Marx, Feuerbach, and modern, etc.) of Hegel without even knowing anything about Hegel. Yeah ok man. What do you expect to do, read fiery philosophical polemics and just nod along and go 'yeah huh Ok I guess you're totally right about that dude, nice...'

Ah wait you're a /pol/fag, I see.

>>8159665
It's a book, not a movie. 450 pages makes you see how bureaucratic everything is and how much everything is fucked and just blindly drones on. If it was 200 pages, you'd complain about how it wasn't 'developed enough'

i see what you mean, i reached a point where i just wanted to finish it
i hated reading the dark turn it took, but its still my favorite book so far

Exactly what I thought, the joke gets tired after 100 pages, and nothing happens until the last 50 or so. Heller doesn't even have anything interesting to say, regardless of pagecount.

>>8159649
I forget I even have it. I think I still have a copy of bloodmeme lying around somewhere. God, that was a shitty book.

>>8159649
I put them all in a box (unless it's expensive and I could sell it online) and I take it to the local book store when it's full.

Whatever he won't buy I take to a thrift store

>>8159651
same case for me with Pale King

>>8159578
How autistic or socially inept are you?

>>8159578
>Also i was thinking of making it a trilogy, with things unresolved in the end and the proceeding with two more trilogies, the second taking place in a steampunk setting and the third in a sci-fi setting.
You're going to fit right in as a fantasy author

>>8159586
Haha. A lot i guess. Wanna hang out?

>>8159587
Perfect. A note, things will be resolved in the end.

Tbh i don't care about publishing it or anything. It's for personal satisfaction. But i like listening to other people's opinions about my ideas.

Ye Olde Corncobby McCobthy cobbling together another corny thread I see. Go fuck yourself with a cob, cornfaggot.

I wouldn't read it. I don't care if other people do.

little pop-trivia versions of what a person who hasn't read Nietzsche thinks about Nietzsche. The only people who would read it are millenials who are conditioned not to expect reading to be challenging

>>8159186

I've read a few of them. They're pretty good. Of course they aren't too in depth (still 100 times better than those "wacky culture nerd" youtube videos), but it says right there it's meant to be an introduction. The bibliographies in the back points to a good list of primary and secondary texts to read for further study.

The drawings can be kind of ugly though. Fuck you Piero Scaruffi.

They were too preoccupied trying to enlighten us through music
