>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 08:28:37 2010 No.519231 contemporary poetry? Seriously it is all garbage, naval gazing, has no depth/clarity of vision. The closest thing to the poetic which I have read by a contemporary is, well, not a damn thing.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 08:32:37 2010 No.519236 >>519231 This. The only reason I like Bukowski is because I always felt that he was somehow mocking the medium, and justifiably so.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 08:38:37 2010 No.519244 What does contemporary even mean?

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 08:39:37 2010 No.519245 >>519244 Anything after the modernist era.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 08:57:37 2010 No.519275 >>519231 haha i just realize i put ''naval gazing'' and i did not mean looking at battleships, yo.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 09:41:37 2010 No.519358 >>519236 bukowski was actually just shit

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 10:58:37 2010 No.519508 >>519231 give an example of a contemporary poem and tell me what's wrong with it

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 11:02:37 2010 No.519511 >>519236 Get over yourself man

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 5 11:03:37 2010 No.519513 Heh, yeah, poetry USED to be good. Then T. S. Eliot came.
