/lit/ - Literature

Im legit a diagnosed schizo and i have a hard time being creative, i have to do lots of research on the creative act and what other artists have said about it.

Recently i came across something keats said in a letter about being a chameleon poet, someone who embodies the things around you

I wish there were a guy in my life who would teach me about poetry and who i could bounce poetry ideas off of, i call him the poet master.

the wind whispers through her hair
her shadows wanders down the path
escaping a love that can not last
as she leaves, all i do is stare

Television was very important to the generation Wallace grew up in.
Just like the internet is to us.
A millennial Wallace would write about the internets effect on literature.
Really, the two biggest things about the millennial mentality are September 11th, and the internet.
I think 9/11 was an historical event that really broke us out of that 90's gen x super cynicism Wallace was wary of.
Now we are more like a pendulum that swings between sincerity and irony.
