I've tried reading some of Hugo's poetry from Les Contemplations and I can't really appreciate it
I feel like I'm too cynical for Hugo, his poetry feels too heartfelt for me and I instinctively cringe when reading it
Is it worth trying to read more of Hugo or should I just skip straight to Baudelaire?
What does /lit/ think of Apollinaire and Mallarmé?
I enjoyed some of what I read from Alcools but I'm worried the rest of his work will be too gimmicky

Yes Hugo is mostly guimauve, references to Greco-roman mythos and patriotism. Maybe you could try les orientales before giving up on him
