William Carlos Williams

he is? why do you say that? I find a lot of love for him, especially among the New York School.

Pound and Eliot still get more attention, especially in academia.

I TAKE IT YOU NOTICED HE WAS THE POEM OF THE DAY?!

>>9413185
Normally Williams and Eliot are the two I've seen taught, and Pound gets sidelined.

As an avid reader and true fan, I'd say he's slightly underrated rated. I do think a lot of his poems, or series of poems, the more complex ones, happen to be criminally underrated. What puzzles me about WCW is how he feels about his place in the world.

His poem(s) "Pastoral" give me a stiffy like no other. His emphasis on childhood ephemerality and color sends me a poetic flavor town.

Idiot.

hm. I guess. Yates seems to be the critical darling on older academics here. which I think it a farce.

Get the fuck out

Yea, but the poem isn't much more than a stream of consciousness poem. He's stated the poem is meaningless. Fucking tards will put meaning into anything so they can feel smart.

WCW is a hack confirmed

I agree. Wcw is a hack, but William Carlos Williams is amazing

>>9413277
>meaning
People like you are so retarded. Poetry is an art, not an arcane method of encoding "meaning". As long as a poem is beautiful, it is good.

>>9413377
Looks like we got a modernist on patrol.

Okay, so what poets do you like?

And most importantly, have you read any of WCW's work? Or have just read shit like "Spring and All" or "The Red Wheelbarrow"?

>>9413251
lol
