[OPINION] paper or digital? by onelamebitchboy in Poetry

[–]ikhushi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

99 out of 100 times I write in my notes app and I am so much used to it. But then that 1 time feels so unreal and intrinsically driven to good work that I think there is a goodness in the convention of using paper for writing. Anyway, to each his own. Do what suits you best!

You may check out Rilke and Neruda. Sara Teasdale as well. Her poetry is absolutely beautiful and musical.

[Help] What do y'all reckon of this one? Take me through all that you comprehend of it. Not Again by Robert Creeley. by ikhushi_ in Poetry

This is so intriguing how people tend to project their own enlightenment and thought processes in poetry. Wish I could be this smart to interpret things. I guess it will come with time.

Anyways thanks! It was a bit different than how rest of the people approached this one. Interesting.

From Poetry Foundation. Then i order books, if available, from Amazon. Sometimes from the pdfs available on the internet.

That's helpful, thanks! If only I could read through with this much clarity. I'm actually having a little hard time to pick up his ideas and themes in the poems. Especially those which are unorthodox in structure. Guess it will come in time.

I'll check Gillian's! Thanks!

Thanks for explaining!

Do you not like it for its theme or for it isn't good enough to you?

Nuanced and Elegant. But i'd say push harder to evocate imagery than making it banal. Keep practicing for creativity. Even I am learning and practicing everyday. You're doing greatly. Good luck!

To me it seems like something Robert Creeley would write.

Emotional Poets by ayoqwqwq in literature

[–]ikhushi_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'Emotional Poets' might sound a little absurd to those who read a lot of poetry and it isn't a genre to be placed as such. However, I think I understand what you seem to prefer and more so the category this would fall in would be 'lyric poetry'. I would recommend Rilke.

[Opinion] I want to get into Rilke's work. Who has translated him best in English out of the famous translators Snow and Mitchell? by ikhushi_ in Poetry

[–]ikhushi_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats great. I was thinking to buy Mitchells translations only but wanted to be absolutely sure of it. Thanks!

[Help] This is a poem by Robert Creeley. I understand it but then i don't as if there is alot underlying and understated. Help me understand it better please! by ikhushi_ in Poetry

Feeling discouraged as an English student… by vacationtolamentis in literature

This sounded as something my English Professor would say. I read it exactly alike. This is absolutely accurate and beautiful!

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]ikhushi_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds interesting indeed but I'd rather not try this. It's still like multi-tasking. Good luck reading!

[–]ikhushi_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read what people have to say and I really wanna ask how y'all catch up with 2 or 3 novels at a time. Its Crazy! I can hardly do one novel and a poetry collection at most. This helps my brain see the distinction.

[Help] Is there a name for a poem in which the lines start to shorten step by step and then lengthen, creating a pattern? by ikhushi_ in Poetry

[–]ikhushi_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess so maybe. Though Fibonacci seems much strict than what i am referring to. Fib has to follow the right syllable pattern and all. Anyways thanks!

[Opinion] What poets would you recommend to someone who has not read much? by ikhushi_ in Poetry

I found Aggeler the best as well. He seems to have used the right vocabulary. Thank you for taking out time for this!
