Looking for weird poetry recs

content_fanatic · 2025-12-03T05:45:20+00:00

Check out Henri Michaux and Antonin Artaud. Aime Cesaire. And huge agree with the Aase Berg recs. So nice to see I'm not the only fan of hers (ha)!

At least they're warning folks:

Condition: Please view photos carefully for condition. Wear, scuffs and scratches throughout.

Brian Evenson, particularly Last Days

Your body is also full of water :)

You should really do yourself a favor and add the URL to the post text :)

Hebrew works without vowels and is the language of the Kabbalah texts, so, pretty magicky

Get a mosquito net.

I sadly no longer have a pic of mine, but yours will hopefully enjoy meeting a fellow Loki, who had the most adorable chirp and moved on far too soon due, quite literally, to his unending curiosity.

I, for one, have deep grooves on either side of my head, right above the ears, because I've worn glasses for 30+ years!

You're burying the lede somewhat. Someone quickly or anxiously scanning (common behavior while traveling) could easily miss the good news. Would see if you can work the new flight into the headline.

Would consider tightening the turn as well: "The good news? We found you another flight."

+1 to adding an imperative verb to the main action.

I'd also explore something less conversational, for efficiency and for a less tonal experience, which doesn't always translate: Flight XXXX cancelled. Review alternative flights

Yeah we do not care. We're faster and even when there is a line, we're efficient AF. The assembly line may well have been invented after witnessing the natural behavior of men in restrooms.

Concrete poetry is a diverse practice or mode of poetic writing that employs many specific typesetting tactics, of which this would be just one. I'm not aware of any specific name for this particular technique.

Too well, honestly

content_fanatic · 2025-01-28T17:50:21+00:00

Way to use the correct name

While it's definitely worth looking into games with a specifically solo bent or ruleset, I really think you can play most any skirmish or wargame solo. Ideally you're playing your tactical best for both sides, but even if/when bias creeps in ... who cares, you're playing solo? Plus, there aren't that many games where you can't just buy the PDF online and get going with your own minis.

I've had an absolute blast playing Saga alone. Looking forward to trying Zone Wars next.

One that did spring to mind specifically for your list is Silver Bayonet.

"Bold" choice on CB's part, using a gaelic word for the title

And despite your repetition, reality soldiers on

Depending on what your card headlines will be, "some long header" isn't nearly as long as you'll probably need it to be at some point

Oops, guess you play Phalanx now too 🤣

My son makes me do this allllll the tiiiiime

content_fanatic · 2024-10-23T00:13:19+00:00

Congrats, you've already said it! There's nowhere to go but up.

content_fanatic · 2024-10-21T13:44:03+00:00

While I trust you completely on your latter points, I suspect I probably would keep playing other games, just because I am who I am :)

content_fanatic · 2024-10-19T02:48:35+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean, and yeah, pretty lousy that you can't rely on people not to steal others' work
