/lit/ - Literature

For me, it's Blues and Jazz

My lady of the cold hands, whose quiet rage shivers her body like a plunging knife. My Catharine, darkest and dearest, woman of my blackest dreams, regard me from on high with your knowing eyes. Touch my bowed head and awaken me to fury.

Do I carry on with this story? It's an excerpt.

Hello. Here's something I've just finished and am hoping
to submit to various magazines. A kind of horror fantasy with anti-humanocentric leanings. Any comments are greatly appreciated.

Hello. What is the absolute best introduction to poetry available? I would like one which teaches the basics of poetry structure but also includes full poems as examples so that I'll able to get more experience with them. So far I've only read the poetry of John Clare, Clark Ashton Smith and a few of Shelley. I've read the Iliad too, but not sure if this counts as such. Whenever I read a poem I have next to no idea what form it's in or how to analyse it, so I'd love to get started. Thank you.

Hey. Can anyone suggest works of the following nature?

-Essays on writing and creativity
-Essays of fantasy and myth
-General books on fantasy and myth, but not The White Goddess or The Golden Bough.

Thank you.

Hey, /lit/, any books on symbols or archetypes in art and story telling that are good? My definition of good is anything that doesn't embrace new age stuff. Thanks.
