/lit/ - Literature

So /Lit/, I have the option of minoring in either Latin,Greek or Eng Lit at university next year. What do?

Could someone recommend some good contemporary poetry?

Does anyone still use meter and rhyme? I had a look at The Poetry Foundation's latest issue and every poem just seemed to be free verse vomited onto the page.

The stars about the full moon lose their bright beauty when she,
almost full, illumines all earth with silver.
The gleaming stars all about the shining moon
Hide their bright faces, when full-orbed and splendid
In the sky she floats, flooding the shadowed earth
with clear silver light.

can /lit/ decipher this ancient greek poem for me?

/lit/,

Let us discuss Erotic Literature. An often under-rated genre.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not ALL just turgid cocks, wet pussies, and moist assholes. Some have quite gripping, dramatic plots and sizzling characters. Some will make you roll your eyes so hard they might fall out of your skull. Some are more comedic than anything else.

It bears reminding that this is the genre Sappho had worked in. So, what works of erotica have you read, /lit/? Do you have a Literotica account? Have you published your own stories? Do tell.

Don't mind me, just posting the earliest record of the purest form of love in poesy.
