Henrik Pontoppidan, Tom Kristensen (though Cliff Sargent did "havoc" by Kristensen recently, because "havoc" plays right into the meme of the literary lifestyle), Eduoard Levé, Rene Daumal.
Zweig is well-known but never mentioned here. Same with Strindberg.

Limited range of subject-matter, limited tone. "Violence and struggle is at the heart of existence and modern society, in so far as it claims to have moved past this, is effete and transient."

>> No.15120979

>>15120901
I agree, however, I don't see narrow subject matter being much of a criticism in terms of poetry. The Romantics had a limited subject matter but that is what defined their art or style.
