His songs are unironically good.

Poetry is a gay cop out for people who can't write prose.

>>18058536
He wrote a book titled Baby Alex. I think it's on Amazon.

>>18058536
No gay guys just jerk off to him

>>18058562
A million billion thousand times this.

I watched a bunch of this guy's videos and it brought me down. It's like he's trapped

>>18058562
>>18058603
Other way around.

What a loser. No wonder he’s a worthless novelist.
>Maybe everyone’s a failed hack like me!
No, the novel is its own tradition and discipline. Some people actually respect it and do it well.

Blue Xi makes me cry. Great album.

>>18058667

Pick one.

What he says is correct, though. It's also present in Nabokov, Bolaño, Houellebecq and many other novelists who tried being poets first. Poetry is literature itself. Those who can't write poetry, settle for novel writing. I'm sorry you found yourself in this category but it's how things are.

Probably some "straight" men too. Not sure about women, but was one licking his ass in the comments for ages.

>>18058562
Prosody is an unsustainable, vain aspiration entertained by novelettes; in a Fahrenheit 451 situation, Ulysses is eventually pruned from memorized circulation, along with most other navel gazing existentialist urban lit

Belletrism is incapable of even producing a facsimile of the tragic view of life won by a personal, exeatic knowing; the best literature is the product of such a pathei mathos, and only hints at this through misdirection and unmarked asides — a poet’s mettle is apprehended instantly, even by ones indisposed to the form

>>18058610
Looks like Nabokov was right

>>18058835
Nabokov was a failed poet as well.

>>18058610
Wiser words prevailed from William Faulkner
As a black and white pic writ with quote text
Yes he did fail as a poem writer
But knew he could succeed in novels next
Praise anon who taught us all this lesson
That poetry of all arts is the best
He of all among us is the person
On whom should smile gods, heroes and the rest!
Showing us that prose-snobs are all maggots
They're just all a bunch of fucking faggots!

>>18058986
holy BASED

>>18058824
Quentin is an O9A member, eh? Be cautious about occult infiltrators in every sphere of your interests

Yeah, he used to make spoken word poetry

>>18058995
Glad you liked it. Here's a full sonnet:

OP wanted us to discuss book club
But his intentions were to come to naught
The trolls descended on this bookish hub
To disrespect all poetry has taught
But cultured posters show'd up to defend
This art most noble of all to be had
For we above all know that in the end
The poet, of all artists, is a chad!
Recall when Byron swam the Hellespont
The violent waves and gusts he did traverse
Old Athens' constitution left no want
For Solon wrote it in poetic verse!
The virgin writer makes his pithy prose
But poems only true chads can compose!

I've jerked off to his butt, you're welcome

>>18059529
fucking brilliant. Wish I could buy you a drink.

>>18058999
Is there any evidence for that, besides what the other anon suggested? I know he made a video on them, but anyone can read their texts online and talk about it. Has he dropped any hints or promoted them?

>>18058536
Q cringes at these videos and everybody who enjoys them now. I suspect that he'll delete them soon. That's what happens when you publicly express yourself before you've grown up, we've all been there to some extent. Waldun's probably a couple years away from it

>>18059773
lol thank God I never shared my early poems on social media

>>18058536
He retired and said good-bye.

The video where he helped his girlfriend's (fiancé's?) mother up the stairs by gently holding her in his arms was touching. The quiet bilingual exchanges were like sprinkles atop a fluffy vanilla cupcake, a glimpse into one man's more personal side.

>>18059766
Aside from the logo, it would seem not. I was just probing that anon, but he never responded (probing him because he used words characteristic to O9A literature- exeatic, pathei mathos)

>>18059797
It was his mother and sister, no?

>>18059805
It probably was. I guess I just assume they were not direct relations due to the French being spoken.

>>18058536
Loved the Waldun diss
