ITT; Authors that /lit/ ignores but shouldn't.

I nominate Thomas Chatterton, a poet who committed suicide at the age of 17. He was an inspiration for poets such as Keats, Coleridge, and Shelley.

I had a friend who was a full-time Chatterton fan. We fell out of touch and when I looked him up to get back in touch I found out he'd killed himself. I think I'm still in denial about it. He was an interesting person.

Paul Celan and Cynthia Ozick. Ozick is the Bloom who could and Celan is the peak of minimalist poetry outside of shit like the haiku form.

Another obscure poet that is extremely underrated despite being one of the most fascinating characters in literature is Geoffrey Potoki de Montalk. Infamous for his eccentric behavior and right wing views

Jean Paul Richter, who I was told not to speak of on this Board. Most experimental German Romantic writer by far- maybe not a Sublime as Novalis, but funny as fuck.

I've read Ozick simply because DFW gave her a shout out. Anything by her in particular you'd recommend?

I thought Thomas Chatterton was a black man with white kids.

>Count Geoffrey Wladislas Vaile Potocki de Montalk (10 June 1903 – 14 April 1997) was a poet, polemicist, pagan and pretender to the Polish throne.
yeah, i'm thinking based

Funny that, I first heard of her when I read about some shenanigans she partook in with Bloom. I really like The Messiah of Stockholm and The Cannibal Galaxy. The second one can feel a little hit or miss, but the first one is really good. The Shawl is her most famous work and it is also really fucking good but not to my particular tastes as much as the other two are.
