Joyce's poetry is pretty bad. There was this local folk artist that actually put his poetry to these folk compositions he wrote that actually made them come alive a bit more. Beyond that though, the poetry is merely a bad imitation of Victorian verse

the cloths of heaven is one of the most beautiful poems i ever read. i love it when things are short and trenchant. this small, little poem takes all of heavens greatness into a few lines and it is still understood.
That is one of the reasons why i will die young.
also i still remember the first time i read "Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", i was in a bookstore in ireland and never heared of yeats before, i just took a random book from the poetry section and opened it on a random page and there it was. immeadiatley i fell in love. that was also the day i discovered rupi kaur lol and one line still is stuck with me something like "my leags spread appart, like an easel and a canvas begging for art" i still love that

Used to be Baudelaire, Dante, Dostoievsky, Balzac.
Now Aeschylus and Flaubert might replace the last two, idk. It's hard to pick only four.

It's easier to pick my four favorite underrecognized writers, so here I go: Bioy Casares, Villiers de L'Ile-Adam, Stig Dagerman and, currently (but might change soon) Raymond Roussel.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 13 23:07:45 2021 No.18020220 >>18020156 >Kawabata Based choice, my fav Jap writer. The other are either more specifically American (and I haven't read them) or universally recognized (like Woolf and Dosto) so it's harder to rate.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 13 23:09:55 2021 No.18020229 >>18020006 Profoundly angsty tier/10 That's the best kind of angsty, but perhaps you should try more vigorous and naturalistic writers, or more strictly comical ones. I think Stendhal, Sterne and Giono could give you a bit of fresh air.

Joyce and Yeats are truly based. Haven't read the other two.

>>18020006
Absolutely abysmal.

>>18020156
Good shit, especially Pynchon and Crane.

>>18020172
Hemingway is so out-classed here. The other three are all time greats, of course.

>>18020204
Legendary all around.

Yeah kawabata is super special. Took me a long time to get used to him (i had to read haiku, reread him and learn about japanese culture) but he hasnt been matched by any japanese writer i know of.
If he has let me know, i'd love nothing more than to find someone who does match him

I think Hemingway is one of the more misunderstood writers. I hated him at first until I saw what he was going for. He is actually an incredible stylist and his sentences are carefully created, especially his short stories. I understand why some may not like him but that won’t stop me from enjoying his work
