Why do girls fall in love and go crazy over poets but novelists give them the ick?
Pynchon got lots of pussy
>>24929808Poetry requires passion and life experience. Novelists are holed up in their mother's basement giving vent to their fantasies.
Long-form writing requires thoughtfulness and concentration so it appeals to introverts.Most classic poets, if they lived today, would be cloud rappers.Novelist would still be novelists.
>>24929808Poetry is digestible and women fantasize about being the muse, novelists are JD salinger holed up in a cabin for decades ignoring them for some greater purpose.
>>24929808tiktok level of concentration hence their shorthand form of thinking without the poetic depth. see the instagram poetry celebs.
>implying there are any poets left
>>24929887This. Novels can still survive in the modern world, because they're prosaic and realist, but the poetic has fled from the modern world.
>>24929808Who are the poets besides Byron?
>>24929835spbp
>>24929911Rupert Brooke & Ted Hughes
>>24929887an ounce of brevity can be caught in a thimblebut an ounce of wit is too quick and nimble
>>24929808based on these pictures it's porbably because the poets look hot + the troubled, brooding persona
>>24929958probably*
>>24929808>Brooke>HughesSo is the key to achieving that sensitive, brooding look to have shorter hair on the back and sides and keep the top a lot longer?
>>24929971But they don't have shorter hair on the back or sides.
>>24929887Its a shame really. You'd think poetry would resurge in popularity since social media fried all our attention spans
>>24929971Yeah, it's literally the most kino hairstyle for an artsy guy to have.
>>24929808By most accounts after V. made money Pynchon got his teeth fixed and grew his hair out long and was something of a slayer to the point that most "I met Pynchon" stories always mention you'd have to watch your wife/GF around him
>>24929808could you not have picked some of the most handsome poets and ugliest novelists as a baseline?
>>24929971reverse mullet?

Byron was just a Chad, and would have been a Chad even if he never picked up a pen. Some guys are just like that.
