/lit/ - Literature

Bane?

Reading The Adams Cantos now, and while they can be technically, or formally interesting they leave me feeling totally ambivalent, and seem sometimes strained.

>Lecturers repeatedly mention Ezra Pound
>Referred to as one of America's greatest, most controversial writers
>Wrote his (possibly) greatest work recluse in prison
>Suopporter of fascism (that should help here)
>Hemingway was quoted saying his work will be remembered as long as literature is

Yet on /lit/ I never see anything by him;
just like TS Eliot.

Is it, that as they are similar to Joyce, they are just too much for /lit/ to even pretend to comprehend?
With Joyce you guys can meme his phrases and go through pages of not understanding anything hoping next chaper will be better.
But when faced with The Wasteland?
After 5 minutes you are left empty handed and exposed for the unintelligent pseud you really are because you can make absolutely nothing of it.

/lit/ doesn't fully understand the paramount pinnacle of true literature, does it?

/lit/

if you were to write a list of poems meant to be taught towards a senior high school poetry class what would you personally include?

How could the Imagists support clear imagery and precise statement but ignore Romantic poetry at the same time? The work of Keats, Wordsworth, and Coleridge are full of imagistic preciseness, and poems like To Autumn are almost completely without rhetoric.

>lmao Wordsworth and Milton are shit, you should read these no-name minor poets instead!
Why did people take this hack seriously?

"You let in the Jew and the Jew rotted your empire, and you yourselves out-jewed the Jew. Your allies in your victimized holdings are the bunyah, you stand for NOTHING but usury." – Ezra Pound
