Tennyson is not underrated, are you fucking crazy?

Nabokov's poetry was absolute garbage. It read exactly like his prose, which is fine for prose but it's not poetry.

>>7292091
Anyone who's read a book knows the name Creely. Stop getting your idea of literature from /lit/.

>Hart Crane
>underrated
Crane is my favorite poet. He has been for a decade. He's underrated, but not for the reasons you people think. He's underrated because everyone thinks him a failure, for stupid reasons. He's NOT underrated because of popularity; Crane is an extremely well-known name to people that actually read books. Stop getting your idea of literature from /lit/.

Everything about this post is fucking embarrassing. Do you even read German? I do, and Nietzsche was the definition of middling.

I enjoy him. Carew is not underrated, he's appropriately rated. Stop getting your idea of literature from /lit/

>Stephen Crane, John Crowe Ransom, Richard Wilbur, George Sterling, Herman Melville, and Hart Crane are the most underrated in English. Maybe Robert Louis Stevenson and Dante Rossetti as well
Stephen Crane's poetry is not underrated, neither is Wilbur. Stop getting your idea of literature from /lit/. Crane I've already addressed. I dont think the others are worth calling underrated, except I agree with you on Melville. His poetry is underrated.

>what's the poetic terminology to describe different types of stanzas?
Uh, like sonnets, ballades, triolets, etc?

That would be called "form". I'm not quite sure what you're asking. There are no names for stanzas, unless you mean by the amount of lines in them, in which case they're called couplets, triplets, quatrains, cinquain, sestets, septet, octet, and so on.

Because fat people aren't literate, nor are they intelligent.
Intelligent people know better than to mistreat their bodies, and they know better than to shovel whatever they can get their hands on down their gullets.

Don't trust a fatty's opinion on anything.
