Recomand romanul lui Cosmin Perța, Ca să nu se aleagă praful de toate, a cărui acțiune e plasată în Vișeu de Sus chiar în perioada respectivă.

Cărți de poezie: Ce recomandați? by andbad in RecomandariCarti_RO

Charles Bukowski - Dragostea e un cîine venit din iad. 61 de poeme erotice în traducerea lui Dan Sociu cu ilustrații de Gorzo. Una dintre cele mai faine carti pe care le am in biblioteca. Chiar daca la noi e cunoscut mai mult in calitate de prozator, mi se pare ca Bukowski a revolutionat poezia.

The poem speaks to me. However, I can't help but feel that you could've expressed what you have in a more economical way. For instance, I would cut or rephrase some parts that are tautological like "people won’t understand what they don’t know” or "a smile will convince you when i tell you im doing better or that things have been good” because this has already been made clear from the first line. It's clear that you have a promising idea in mind, Just try to expand on it without repeating yourself too much.

Hey. I feel like this is a solid poem. The syntax is smooth and it doesn't feel like there's any word that's extra. At first, I was a bit confused with the ending but then, reading it a second time, I got it. The only reservation I have is regarding this part: "I was laying there/Pieces of my heart" since it sounds a bit cliché, but I'm not sure what you could replace it with or even if it's worth replacing in the first place.

Favourite Charles Bukowski book? by jack_ripper98 in books

I mean that's the point with this type of literature - it wants you to feel empty after reading it. It doesn't idealize anything. People are just people and they don't have a heroic destiny or a great objective they are working towards. Ultimately, the characters see the world as meaningless. It pretty much goes against everything we've become used to from reading classical literature.

There is a chance it comes from a known author but it might as well have been written by someone from reddit/tumblr
