How come none of you faggots ever talk about her? She mogs Eliot, Whitman, Yeats, and Milton EASILY
shes getting talked about just as much as the others, as /lit/ does not discuss poetry
>>25289870bit more id say
>>25289852I don't like her poems
>>25289852that's a chudette if I ever saw one
>>25289875agreed, I only ever see Milton brought up as much as her compared to the others who nobody reads
I remember my big titted classmate I used to jerk off to a lot saying "She sounds like a loser" after our teacher talked about her being a shut-in dedicated to her poetry. she (Dickinson) never recovered in my estimation
>>25289852> dick in sonsounds a bit sus no?
>>25289912Her poetry is best paired with the prose of Balzac
>>25289852Post some poems to support this assertion
>>25289852I've written a few poems for lovers, but I never felt the need to read poetry myself.
>>25289915respectable laugh .gif
>>25289852>She mogs Eliot, YeatsYes>Whitmanlol no>MiltonGET REALBut to answer your question, it's a double whammy: She's a chick and 90% of /lit/ is literally too dumb to understand her poems.
>>25289852All her poems read like nursery rhymes.She is shit.
>>25289918we don't do that here
Yeats is fucking terrible and almost anyone mogs him
>>25290117>F-F-F-F-F-F-F-FILTEREDDDDD
she's a cow pissing on a flat rock
>>25290554what the fuck does this mean?
>>25289886PLEASE, goddamn it, if there's one fucking place, i don't want to fucking stumble upon a penis, it's in /lit, drawn even, i don't expect to, and i shouldn't be made to expect to. of all the threads, too, you pick Dickinson -- the most unfucked woman in the canon, the one who sealed herself in a room precisely to not have to look at this vile organ. one question, i know they say lit and the phallus are consanguineous, twins, even. but to me? antithesis, thanks for confirming my omega brains thesis with this specific picture. i wanna remove you from the perimeters, she would have aswell, honestly.
>>25290113Whitman is easily the most garbage poet in discussion among them all
>>25289886Kys asap
>>25289852Calm down, simp. She's a great and highly original poet in a small form, and I can tolerate someone preferring that to the sprawling amateurism of her compatriot Whitman, but when placed against Eliot, Yeats and Milton she is dwarfed and her small form inevitably makes her appear as a small poet. Just because Dickinson is easier to enjoy does not mean she is better. You should learn the difference. She offers the greatest appearance of complexity and depth within the smallest perimeter, offering the pleasure of suggestiveness without requiring its explanation. She is perfect for normies without concentration. Add to that the fact that she is a woman, and the result is that she is talked about too much in the popular sphere. A lack of discussion here is at least balancing things out.
>>25290658>big poem better than small poem cause more bigger is more better n sheit>Yeah I'm an amerifat how did you guess
>>25291479Standard practice for poets has historically been to start with short pieces and work through developing narratives/series of poems up to hopefully composing an epic within their lifetime because the degree of skill involved in remaining focused within the design and consistent yet fresh requires a much greater degree of skill.
>>25291508this is just retardation masquerading as sophistication, counterexamples off the top of my head>sappho worked entirely within the lyric>catullus's reputation rests entirely on punchy, short lyrics>basho (as well as basically any haiku master)>philip larkin's work>yeats's entire reputation rests on his shorter lyrics, nobody reads his long narrative poems>keats's odes and sonnets are held in just as high esteem as his narrative poems, same deal for coleridge, same deal for wordsworth
>>25289852Poetry is gay. You're gay. Reading women is for retards. You're retarded. You're a gay retard.
>>25291961>keats's odes and sonnets are held in just as high esteem as his narrative poems, same deal for coleridge, same deal for wordsworthAside from Keats who died too young for the theory to be adequately tested (if not then lending it explicit credibility in accordance) this is wildly untrue. Nobody values W/C poems above Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and The Prelude. I think you‘re trying to stretch the half-truth that people also value their shorter poems to places it can‘t naturally go.
>>25291479Lol, way to miss the point. Dickinson's form is not only 'small', it is extremely simple and repetitive. Her invention is limited, her technical refinement unexceptional. Whether you like it or not, the simplicity of ballad metre means it will never be a rival to the all-glorious pentameter used by Milton and Yeats, or the endlessly inventive rhythm of the latter's smaller measures, or the ingenious free verse technique of Eliot. Dickinson is incomparably inferior to Sappho. The simple ballad should not be conflated with the supreme artfulness of the Sapphic stanza simply because they were both employed by female lyricists.
>>25289852>She mogs Eliot, Whitman, Yeats, and Milton EASILYHoly fuck you must have down's syndrome because she does absolutely none of that.
>>25292433>poems are more better when they have more different meter>and that's true because... because... IT JUST IS OKAY
