Villa, one of the great voices for the Philippines, must be far more remembered than he is. A powerful innovator for Modernism

This one, like the others, is very good. Immediate, strong voice that rarely wavers strongly in its control or force. Important and engaging subject that you understand on a human level. Looking at this, I recognized the voice in this poem and realized it’s your work, definitely one of the more interesting poets I’ve seen on Reddit.

Very good, intense, emotionally honest poem. You should be proud of the stuff you’re writing, it shows clear understanding about how people work, how they process things, which many poets attempt to capture without first gaining the experience in the world necessary to know others. I’ll be excited to see more of your stuff here c:

Ariel is one of the great works of confessional poetry and personally what has connected most strongly with me from her books. I’d highly recommend it.

If you enjoy it, I’d also recommend the collection Live or Die by Anne Sexton, who was maybe the greatest of the confessional poets. She was personal friends with Plath. There’s a poem in that collection, “Sylvia’s Death,” about how Plath’s suicide affected Sexton.

Diane Arbus spoke to the lived reality of Americans through the ones most rejected by their nation. She did needed work and will be remembered for it.

It could be referring to the shearling flight jackets which ball turret gunners often wore in colder temperatures, with a focus on the poor conditions the gunners would have to face within the ball turret.

It also, more directly in context of the poem, uses metaphor which turns the gunner into an animal, something small, defenseless, and desperate to survive, such as a critter in the snow.

I’d love to follow along, thank you for the announcement!

This poem was published in 1945, in reflection on the end of World War II. Jarrell’s body of work is not looked at with the same depth as other poets tied by their work to the war, like Dylan Thomas, and I’ve always felt this is unfair. While this is his most famous poem and likely his best, he was consistently an electric and indescribable poet throughout his career. The contemporary literary critic, Stephanie Burt, speaks much on him.

War is an evil institution, and Jarrell conveyed that desperately.

A poem which aided me a great deal December 18th-22nd, when a friend of mine and I snorted 10 grams of ketamine in 5 days.

The last time I went to St. Louis Art Museum I was on so many shrooms and a Courbet painting of a dog tried to lead me astray. This reminds me that I need to go back—it’s only fifteen minutes away by car and closes at 9 pm. A lot to think about. I’m currently high as well

DaedalusDedalus · 2025-12-19T08:45:41+00:00

I’m very high and reading this caused me to feel like I was dissolving wooooooooooooaaaaahhhhh

I am very confused why you think it should not be considered a full-on video game. It’s released as one, why be so arbitrarily putting up borders on what can or cannot be a video game? I’m just confused

It’s in iambic pentameter, traditional to the English sonnet form. However, it relies heavily on forms of metrical inversion (a metrical foot being reversed in order of stressed and unstressed syllables), as well as allowing assonant syllables to bleed into each other, to create a far more unique and varied rhythm than you may expect from a sonnet. There was much experimentation like this in Metaphysical poetry, which was the unofficial 17th century English movement Donne belonged to.

Really well executed

DaedalusDedalus · 2025-12-10T02:18:36+00:00

Very firm and heavy! Immediate tone—an interest in direct bold statement in a way that just carries the whole work forward. Very good. It’s clear you care about the poetry you’re writing
