Dan Schneider claims to have written 1500 genuinely great poems. By comparison, the greatest published poet of all time, Rainer Maria Rilke, has only 77: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJrj7WvTt8Y
This makes Dan Schneider a literary genius the likes of which the world has never before seen. Hard to believe? Read his poems and judge for yourself: http://cosmoetica.com/Poetrylinks.htm
I'd link a specific one, but that shouldn't matter, as they're all supposedly great. His wife, of course, is the second greatest poet of all time: http://www.cosmoetica.com/Jessica%20Schneider.htm
He also likes to improve poems written by other authors by cutting out unnecessary lines. He performs such excisions on such beloved greats as Yeats, Eliot, Keats, Frost, Ashbery and plenty of others: http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP.htm
For some examples of his criticism, see him take 2/3 of the meme trilogy to task:

He's a bit kinder to Ulysses, but also considers it extremely overrated, and feels that the film adaptation is superior: https://web.archive.org/web/20111006165411/http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/film/bloom
He also does interviews with various people, but I'll only link to this one with famed anime voice actor and Star Trek fan film director Vic Mignogna, which I found quite surreal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEFwT-ko9Ac
In a similar vein, here are Dan Schneider's thoughts on Dan Schneider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IdJ83GP5cg
So, what are /lit/'s thoughts? Have we all been missing out on a once-in-a-millennium genius, or is he just a phony? BTW I am not Dan Schneider, but you can assume I am if you want to.

Not this guy again
He's a rambling idiot

>>8792641
I'll agree he's a narcissist, but for the sake of argument, may you explain?
>>
Dan 'Dick like a tin can' Schneider
Dan 'Get in the van' Schneider
Dan 'The Hymen divider' Schneider
etc.
>>
>>8792656
He deems himself the best poet ever because he has written over a 1000 masterpieces, deemed masterpieces by himself
Need I say more
>>
For those that don't know, who is this guy and why is he a meme?
>>
>>8792695
He's an alright critic; think of the opinions of Vladimir Nabokov.
>>
Rilke? McGonagall wrote 200 works.
"Beautiful railway bridge of the silv'ry Tay
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last sabbath day of 1879
Which will be remember'd for a very long time."
>>
Ah, I remember when I made this exact thread about a year ago. Thanks for the copypasta, OP. I'm flattered.

>>8792695
He is basically the Piero Scaruffi of literature. He even has a video where he interviews Scaruffi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16gT0lnSoew

>>8793402
Your welcome :)
>>
What he says aside what does anyone actually think about his poetry?
>>8793405
He's a lot worse than Scaruffi. Scaruffi didn't produce a bunch of rock albums and say he was the rock god because he had twenty 9/10's.

THE RAPE OF MARY
This void is that she could never swallow:
when behind the ravening marketplace,
that pit of commerce, the alley growing
darker with each step, where that day expunged
the moment it happened- removed her space-
from within. She encompassed its shudder,
or so she dreamt. She thought, then, tomorrow
she could begin to love this difference plunged
beyond her Lord. But that feral smile,
his mortal smells filled the Holy Mother
hung on a fiction that could never be:
the virgin's delight; the rapist plowing
past her desire to be defiled-
O to be fucked so immaculately!
>>
>>8793422
I'm glad he clarifies that the ravening marketplace is a pit of commerce

>he's the piero scaruffi of literature.

Fair point, but the site doesn't really shit on popular stuff, which is what makes Scaruffi and to some extent Schneider so memeable. It does have a pretty extensive catalog like Scaruffi's site, though.
