I'm reading a book by Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen at the moment, I think she's going to end up being one of my favorites.

>>17666895

>>17666924
Why are you obsessed with incels?

>>17666882
I really like Jane Austen's style. I also think she's good at structuring a plot, even if her stories can easily discourage people because of how seriously she followed the "write what you know" rule.
I like Charlotte Brontê too; her defense of femininity as something noble and worth pursuing is very inspiring and perhaps needed nowadays.

I genuinely don’t see what’s appealing about Dickinson, tell me why you like their poetry in cold mechanical detail.

>>17668757
You don’t like Emily Dickinson?

Roasted Beef

>>17668761
Nope, don’t care for her one bit. Find her imagery to be boring and tame, her religious sentiment to be limp and not very enthusiastic, I don’t care one bit about erotic or romantic poetry, she’s not sensuous enough nor do I see any profound depth in her philosophical thought and she isn’t lyrical enough that I could see a natural music and beauty just in the sounds of her work.

So I don’t really see anything I’ve read of her appealing, I’ve read a poetry collection and I’ve read around a 350 page book concerning her to try to understand the appeal. I don’t see it.

>>17668784
That’s Ursula K. Le Guin. One of my favorites

>>17668776
More of a Whitman sort then? Or Edward Lear?

Woolf probably

It's not even close.

>>17668811
Neither, was just going on about how I’ve found no real appeal in Whitman in the Whitman thread, and Lear’s nonsense verse isn’t as good as caroll. His phantasmagoria is pretty enjoyable compared to everything of Lear I’ve read.

I’m more into Blake, Dante, the symbolists, decadents,(especially Swinburne) Spenser, keats, Li-he and a large amount of the more ethereal lamenting Chinese poetry like the Chu-Ci.

Once more, what do you find in particular appealing and good about Dickinson in actual gold mechanical detail?

I can say I like my poetry to either be high conceptual in terms of philosophy or theology, high sensuous and filled with Synesthesia and musical qualities, like a good deal of Baudelaire. And if not is more philosophical and if it is not decadently sensuous and fantastical/grotesque and if it is not lyrical, there’s really not much I can point to saying why a poem would be good yeah?

>>17668784
did you think if you completely ignored me calling you out it would absolve you of guilt? just out of curiosity, what is your explanation for why you feel compelled to make this thread and others like ti about you? that is OBJECTIVELY the reason you posted the way you did, by the way. you wont provide and alternate explanation because there is none, youre just another dime a dozen vapid whore desperate for attention. once again, you could easily prove me wrong with the most absolutely minimal amount of effort but you wont because you cant.

>>17667913
yes, and?

>>17668811
the entire reason you LARP as being a lesbian is so clearly stemming from a combination of feminist indoctrination conflicting and causing guilt about your lust for attention from men you feel are clearly superior and want to prove yourself to (and ironically end up proving the opposite, that you are indeed inferior)

>>17668839
>there’s really not much I can point to saying why a poem would be good yeah?
Yeah.

>>17666895
Yup

>>17668864
No but really, what else can you point to other than the quality of the verse in terms of lyric, sensuous power, ideal content, emotional weight and unique fantasy/imaginal quality.

Again, you like Dickson, tell me what you like about them.

>>17668864

explain how you are not an mentally inferior whore. it would be extremely easy, all you would have to do is provide a very simple explanation for how your identity is related to the topic of this thread which would go a long way to proving you actually are not here just acting like a stereotypical mentally inferior vapid woman

>>17668864
I’ll be back in around 15? Minutes, somewhere around there. So really, take your time, compose your thoughts. I’m interested to hear it.

>>17668857
I was anonymous, then I took an ambiguous blob from a zalgo thread (that I didn’t even recognize as a butterfly) and only later did anonymous start accusing me of being a girl. I let it go for a week, I explained I found women attractive. They wouldn’t let it go.
Pfff

>>17668875
Do you ask others who start Dickinson threads this? This isn’t even the thread.

>>17668877
It’s not and I never claimed such a thing. That’s all on you.

>>17668885
Not quite back yet so I can’t give a long reply but yes I’ve asked this in multiple threads, also this is a thread for female authors while your thread has no theme. Just continue here. Alrighty I’m gone I won’t be back for a little while longer. Again do compose your thoughts and give me your reasoning. I always enjoy saying why I like who I like, don’t you?

>>17668885
so you finally admit you are a stereotypical mentally inferior woman who shits up every other thread for attention from superior men. good, we're getting somewhere

>>17668885
the thread isnt about dickinson, its about you, you made sure of that, so the question is relevant

>>17668885
So you are a man LARPing as a woman?

>>17668915
No. I came out as a woman but had to explain I was a lesbian. Anon made me. Take up with him.
Who’s your favorite woman writer?

>>17668885
Alrighty, back. And as I was saying, yes I often ask this in Dickinson threads. I won’t post in yours simply because you didn’t specify it’s for her but in any case. Yeah I’m interested. Tell me what you like about them or a specific poem.

>>17668929
so why are you making this thread about you by forcing your identity into the spotlight if your intention is not pure vapid attention seeking from a stereotypical mentally inferior mind?

there is literally no alternate explanation, prove me wrong

Yeah this does nothing for me but come off as larp as I’m studied in world religion and initiated into multiple of these. I’ve studied western paganism extensively for example. I also don’t care at all for any heavier rock, death metal or the like. I like calm and repetitive music personally. All I see in what you’ve linked is largely larp. I mean is what you’re trying to say that it hits you in an emotional way you find difficult to describe, on some primal level?

I don’t believe man is so hollow and shallow that we can’t explain our own feelings if that’s the case. Besides, just a bit of emotional movement and sentimentality is pretty cheap yeah? Or what do you mean. Actually explain your view.

>>17669999
I’ve very little exposure, mostly through friends shilling and a few short essays concerning them and the like. From what I understand I would despise them, as they reject utterly the Old Testament, are more about trying to justify faith to yourself or the world.

About the “journey” and not about the knowledge itself. I get why others find this appealing but I have absolutely no care for pathos. I am cold for anything but God and the only thing that gets a fire blazing in me is unapologetic undying faith and love of God which is willing to sacrifice life, well-being physical and mental and so forth for God. I have not once in my life ever doubted god, nor have I ever felt existential crisis or problem with Faith. So I find these things abhorrent personally.

>>17670238
All they have to do is have a nice conversation about one of their favorite authors, literally the only reason why any of us are here right? To discuss books they like or are interested in. I wouldn’t press the issue if we were elsewhere.

i personally have found dickinson decently enjoyable. the repetitiveness of her verse when reading several at a time has a hypnotic quality, and her slant rhyme stops it from falling into a monotonous rut given the general simplicity of her language. i agree with you that the religious themes feel quite "plastic" and vapid, but i've enjoyed a few of her nature poems very much, despite them generally being sort of confused and directionless.

i think you need to consider the fact almost all of her poems were in draft form, with very few slipping through the cracks in letters to friends - most of these might never have seen the light of day if it was her choice, given the difficulty editors have with picking a definitive version of almost every line.

here's my favourite i've read:

The wind tapped like a tired man,
And like a host, 'Come in,'
I boldly answered; entered then
My residence within

A rapid, footless guest,
To offer whom a chair
Were as impossible as hand
A sofa to the air.

No bone had he to bind him,
His speech was like the push
Of numerous humming-birds at once
From a superior bush.

His countenance a billow,
His fingers, if he pass,
Let go a music, as of tunes
Blown tremulous in glass.

He visited, still flitting;
Then, like a timid man,
Again he tapped- 't was flurriedly-
And I became alone.

>>17670595
But I’m not even trying to argue! I just want to know why they like what they like!

>>17670604
kek, dealing with her really is like dealing with a child

>>17666882
I found out a few months ago that I've only read one female writer since 2012 — and didn't like her very much. I wasn't expecting to be so based...
In theory, I don't have anything against women, but now I don't want to break this streak.

>it's another "Butterfly derails a thread by being a retard" chapter

Shirley Jackson (pic related). The Haunting of Hill House is the only book that made me sleep with the lights on.

Gillian Flynn as well, although she isn't really /lit/ that I'm aware of.

>>17670600
>i personally have found dickinson decently enjoyable. the repetitiveness of her verse when reading several at a time has a hypnotic quality,

While I enjoy hypnotic qualities, I find a whole lot more of that in Poe and again maybe my tastes are different from all of the translated poetry I’ve read where hypnotic repetition is such a common thing.

>and her slant rhyme stops it from falling into a monotonous rut given the general simplicity of her language.

Oh I don’t get tired of the same repeated over and over.

>i agree with you that the religious themes feel quite "plastic" and vapid, but i've enjoyed a few of her nature poems very much, despite them generally being sort of confused and directionless.

Eh, that’s a problem I’ve seen a lot of American has and I see it pretty often with the modernists that they’ll just string together imagery they find beautiful and just kinda forget they were even doing a narrative at all, and vaguely they try to connect it near the end. Not a fan of that personally.

>i think you need to consider the fact almost all of her poems were in draft form, with very few slipping through the cracks in letters to friends - most of these might never have seen the light of day if it was her choice, given the difficulty editors have with picking a definitive version of almost every line.


Eh that’s fine I guess, I still have to judge her poems by what we have though ya know.

Like I’m going to dissect this poem the same way I would dissect it if some anon posted it in the poetry thread.

>The wind tapped like a tired man,

It’s an odd simile which doesn’t really do much for me, and if you’re trying to imply tired slowness why are you using an alliteration?

>And like a host, 'Come in,'
>I boldly answered; entered then

Boldly does nothing and it feels by her dividing the lines that she’s struggling with the lines. This doesn’t flow naturally.

>My residence within

Utility line.

>A rapid, footless guest,

This doesn’t progress the imagery and is soon abandoned so why bring it up.

>To offer whom a chair

Stilted, doesn’t flow so easily when I recite the poem as a whole.

>Were as impossible as hand
>A sofa to the air.

Ugly lines which don’t do anything for me imagery or sound wise.


>No bone had he to bind him,

Again why alliterate, wouldn’t sibilance be more appropriate for a windy poem?

>His speech was like the push
>Of numerous humming-birds at once
>From a superior bush.

Cont

>>17670662
Push from a bush ? Perhaps my taste is too kitsch but I don’t get how that’s a lovely image, the middle line is also too heavy in comparison to the rest.

>His countenance a billow,
>His fingers, if he pass,

Again, I feel struggle/tension with these.

>Let go a music, as of tunes
>Blown tremulous in glass.

Same complaint, tremulous in glass also means nothing to me.

>He visited, still flitting;
>Then, like a timid man,
>Again he tapped- 't was flurriedly-

Feels like the energy was drained by this point, nothing further to say but continuing just to continue.

>And I became alone.

A pretty cheap ending that doesn’t really complete the narrative or image.


And I know I’m being harsh and I know it might come off pretentious but, I’ve simply not found her enjoyable.

butterfly cant get rid of the trip because its the only thing that gets her the attention she needs mentally speaking. notice how she outright refuses on every occasion to give an alternate explanation

shes little more than a stereotypical dumb vapid whore who thrives by inserting herself wherever she can and making it al about her. here on /lit/ she pretends to like books or be some sort of intellectual but its all a song and dance to satisfy her vapid feminine urges to be the center of attention

she literally cannot provide an alternate explanation for why she does the the things she does even though it should be extremely easy and good for her in the long run if my assertion is not true

>>17673174
>its all a song and dance to satisfy her vapid feminine urges to be the center of attention

why cant you simply explain what reason you have to inject your identity into every single thread you post in? it would be extremely easy and would do away with this perception that you are nothing more than a retarded hole thirsty for attention from your intellectual superiors

yeah an obvious choice for good poets

Margeurite Yourcenar was going to be my addition to the thread. I've only read Memoirs of Hadrian and her essay collection, That Mighty Sculptor, Time.

Also very good, especially for a genre writer. Clear, good prose in the Ripley books (especially the first one)

good but not amazing

I really like Katherine Anne Porter, Flowering Judas Stories and Ship of Fools are awesome.

Flannery O'Connor. Great prose.

Lilian Jackson Braun
Those books are just so comfy, even though people are dying all the time.

Women should be thrown into gulags and men should create artificial wombs without the need of female chromosomes already.

>Cope
You're totally coping, because Leni is a coward whichever side of the political divide you take and a liar to boot. Welles was a drunkard even if you agree with his deranged political stances. It takes truckloads of cope to deny that kind of shit. It takes about the same amount of cope as the people who try to disavow Polanski as a good director when they found out he got his free 13 year old from /b/ a few decades early. Being a good director is no indemnity from being a shitheel and you're coping like a wine aunt with thirteen cats if you think it is for Leni.

Literally who

Marguerite Young, Lydia Davis, Virginia Woolf.

Haven't read many female authors, to be fair. I gave Ducks, Newburyport a fair chance and detested it. Obamacore claptrap.

Carson McCullers, Helen Garner

you get upset like that because you think women are not respected enough or some such thing and deserve better, yet here you are, day in and day out, proving your own assertions wrong beyond a doubt by acting out all of the worst stereotypes of women that show precisely why they were held as second class citizens across almost the entire planet for almost all of human history, and why they deserved it.

the funny thing is you probably could have proven yourself by showing at the very least a glimmer of hope for the feminine half of humanity by exercising the bare minimum amount of self awareness and humility by admitting that you tripfag here because the attention makes you feel good and boosts your ego, but you couldn't even display that tiny bit of cognitive awareness and genuine humanity, the best you could muster was to make the Admission through omission of an alternative answer
