/lit/ - Literature

Poetry does nothing for me. How do I stop being a pleb?

Epicureanism is the best. Feel free to look elsewhere, just don't get lost in all those silly theologies.

I'd like to read about poetry, /lit/.
I want to read of the elements of poetry, the fundamentals, the history, the variations, even analysis would be welcomed.

Thanks.

pic largely related, I read it from the recommended list and really enjoyed it. Since then I've developed a craving for poetry and want to read as much on it as I can.

transcendental stuff?

more Emerson than Thoreau.

:D

pic related, would-be lover.

So i have this paper i gotta write. It has to be on Walt Whitman's "song of myself" from his work "leaves of grass". It's gotta be about the textual history of the work, i.e. revisions and such, and i thought you might want to help me. or we can just talk about transcendentalism.

hi /lit/. i have to write a research paper on the textual history of Walt Whitman's "song of myself".
<br><br>It has to be about the revisions and their significance in the interpretation of the poem. Any interesting facts you wanna throw out there would be awesome. <br><br>Or we can just talk about transcendentalism :p
