Why does no one talk about poetry here? Too much intellect and imagination required to enjoy it? Perhaps

>Yes, my eyes are closed to your light. I am a beast, a nigger. But I can be saved. You are sham niggers, you, maniacs, fiends, misers.

I was waiting at KFC for my friend and my companion wanted to discuss thebest poet with me. He said "arthur rambo is the best poet", the guy what sang about the boat. I said "no".

Started reading Iluminations after Season in Hell. I consider myself a "good reader" in the sense that I can understand works that seem far more complex and full of symbolism than this. However I can't understand shit when it comes to this beautiful bastard. It seems like im reading sentences from diferent poems that where put together into one. Any help/advice?

Where do I start with this beautiful hombre and why do you like him? Also anybody know of any good spanish translations?
Thanks
