Re: Introduction To Poetry
Hi Bruiser,
If you enjoy The Wasteland, you should also check out Hart Crane's The Bridge. It's somewhat inferior, IMO, but you will like it.
Also, I think Pound's Cantos are right up your alley, because there is an insane amount of stuff there to figure out (or stuff that can't be figured out). Unfortunately, they are mindbogglingly cryptic and pretty much inaccesible. Some stuff is written in Chinese, Italian, French, Provencal, and probably ten other languages. So have fun.
Other poets I enjoy but who are not necessarily related to those I mentioned above are Paul Celan (German) and Vergil (Roman).
