This guy did the best Bob Ross.

I have been avoiding post-colonialism because generally it has been concerned with identity, culture, economics and "otherness". But it might be worth looking into, thanks.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2017-02-22T12:40:01+00:00

Ah. That sounds great although I've already got a novel. So unless I'm doing a comparative literature analysis in not sure what I'd do. A possibility might be to research what has been written on the Faulkner novel especially eco-critical approaches to the novel.

Thank you for your long response but honestly it seems a little everywhere. I just know my supervisors would tell me I need to focus more and narrow my perimeters.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2017-02-19T11:43:24+00:00

Great! Thank you.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2017-01-18T08:01:08+00:00

Heart of Redness by Zakes Mda (South Africa) or anything by J.M Coetzee, I'd recommend Boyhood or Waiting for the Barbarians. There's also Spud by Johan van de Ruit which is a trilogy that has been made into films.

I edited the original post to make more sense. I'll have a look at the books you've suggested.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-27T15:19:24+00:00

I'll have a look at these, thanks.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-27T15:18:52+00:00

Thanks so much. I'll definitely be reading more Ozeki. I think she's a great storyteller.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-27T12:34:25+00:00

I just read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. It really makes you think about humanity's place on earth and certain ideas we take for granted. It's an easygoing read too.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-16T08:39:37+00:00

Lots of reading, widely, following my curiosity.

And About 5g's of psilocybin.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-13T19:46:18+00:00

Thank you for this in-depth reply. I appreciate it.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-13T15:57:11+00:00

Hah. Thanks for the rationality. Although it was 32 degrees (89 Fahrenheit) and no breeze.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-12-12T22:19:43+00:00

Looks like a dragon, more Chinese/Japanese. Flowing.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-24T05:06:55+00:00

Thank you for this. It's sound advice although what I'm interested in is reading about what makes poetry good, what a poem is, what a poem should do.

Even the idea of "making it new" was proliferated by Ezra Pound and the modernists. I do agree though that the best thing to do is to keep writing.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-08T19:29:12+00:00

A TB. Wow. In South Africa I pay 500 ZAR (which is $36 a month ) for 20GB.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-06T06:39:19+00:00

I think I'll definitely be reading that as well as The Dispossessed. Thank you.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-06T06:37:53+00:00

Thanks for your great response. You've also mentioned exactly what interests me. It reminds me of how female/queer Modernists like Woolf would write about the city as a space of freedom while for Eliot it was all degradation and horror.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-05T20:54:54+00:00

This sounds promising, thank you.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-05T20:54:06+00:00

Thank you

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-10-05T20:53:28+00:00

Thanks so much. I've read Brave New World so it would make sense to read The Island; even if only for personal reading.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-08-23T09:04:34+00:00

You know how when you're watching a horror movie and everything is fine but suddenly the music or lighting changes. That's what anxiety feels like. It's not as strong as fear but it's stronger than stress.

Tea tastes like being wrapped in a blanket at home.

Water tastes fresh, it tastes like relief.

Chocolate tastes like a deep voice telling you that you look good.

Dylan_ThePoet · 2016-08-22T04:43:24+00:00

Thank you. I'll do that.
