This is a gorgeous poem. The language is baroque and there's a great sense of rhythm. I love the circular structure and how the images make their own metaphors.
>For the moth bends no more than the still imploring flame... And tremorous in the white falling flakes kisses are
The dead moth is a kiss as it falls. It reminds me of Icarus.
>But only by the one who spends out himself again.
I will chant this at the onset of existential despair.
This is absolutely beautifully. too bad you didn't write it.

What a shitty poem. You don't even care about rhythm. This could have been prose and nothing would have been lost. But no, you needed your fancy linebreaks.

Reasons for the study of trees can be given by score. All of them--scientific, cultural, economic, and aesthetic--are justifiable. Yet reasons are hardly necessary. Trees are too large, too majestic, too important, and too much a part of nature to be ignored.

Three Notes

Left for Sacramento
Be'll back next week for sure
Keep my bed warm !

Im off onto Chicago now
I need to see her
Take care man

I tried to catch you but you weren't home.
I'm going away for awhile—we're taking about a boat.
I left some money on the table.
Sorry

The first two lines are interesting, but the rest has no weight. I know you're ripping off Ginsberg. Maybe you should try something mystical or surreal

>pitter patter
This is never a good phrase to use.
The middle of the poem feels cluttered, which I guess works with the subject. Your last two lines were well done.

My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication — it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness — it is all that I have — and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.

Which part is bullshit? The way Oscar talks, the precise calculations he makes and his lie counting could point to autism. Or maybe he's just a weird kid. Vonnegut flat-out tells us Billy's schizophrenic, "a novel in the telegraphic schizophrenic manner." And if you're reading literature as a history of ideas, themes, motifs, etc., then having a protagonist with a psychological problem that directly plays into the novel's themes and development is a connection.

One last thing, Oscar is probably on the autistic spectrum, which connects to Billy Pilgram's schizophrenia.

EL&IC, like Slaughterhouse Five, is a book about trauma. Both involve Dresden. Both have forms of timetravel. It's been a while since I've read either, so I'm trying to find my notes.

>> No.5067536 [View]

He doesn't do much of anything new. It's a lot of modern and postmodern techniques, and EL&IC owes a lot to Vonnegut. That said, I think his use of blank space is wonderful. Like how he showed what Oscar's grandmother wrote in her memoir. A similar thing occurs in Tree of Codes. While reading it, you see the words about to appear and you get these impressions that transcend noveltime. Personally, I love him. His work is easy to study to point out these techniques. I don't think he's going into the canon, but he's nice to have around.

>no real plot, story arc, characters, development, etc
Why do you think a story needs to have these? If you're going into a piece of lit with some archetype in mind all play and deviations will be lost on you. You'll just be lonely and butthurt.
