James Joyce: his own modernist pretensions have turned him into a dinosaur

Walt Whitman: his philosophasting destroyed his legacy; his America has utterly vanished, thank god.

Henry Thoreau: a miserable mediocrity and wisdom writer. Thoreau and his ilk mark the coming of the American bourgeoisie.

Herman Melville: One of Thoreau's contemporaries, a Christian bigot and moralizing extremist. As part of the coming American bourgeoisie, Melville surpasses Thoreau by epitomizing our contemporary SJW's in 19th century form, a man well before his time for sure; kill whitey (the White Whale).

Ralph Waldo Emerson: Emerson couldn't decide between abolitionism and the reality of the Nigger, so he paid lip-service to abolitionists while at the same time distancing him by waxing sentimental about "Individualism". You might say he was a proto-cuckservative.

Virginia Woolf: muh vagina

Virgina Woolf's proxies (Atwood): muh vaginas

Emily Dickinson: muh vagina

Don DeLillo: Underworld is a piece of shit, his early books are far better.

Stephen King: shit

J.D. Salinger: shit

Lord Byron: simply a shitty poet.

John Keats: didn't sufficiently understand what he was saying when he said "truth is beauty". Keats was a typical dilettante, hence his utterly naïve, if not bourgeois view of nature.

Sylvia Plath: Complete shit, truly a product of her age. In the 60's, it was fashionable for feminists to flock to "poetry", ironically confirming the sexual segregation of culture engendered by Americanism, the very thing they allegedly fought. It was an ephemeral affectation and consequentially produced a ton of garbage. Plath is now deified because she confirmed liberal pretensions by 1) having a vagina 2) picking up a pen and 3) writing about lampshades

William Faulkner: was too artsy even by modernist standards, and he was a traitor. His worst book was stylistically a wreck but was political and therefore satisfied the critics, while his best book was pure art-for-art's sake nonsense. Very inconsistent writer and not nearly as great as the canon says. But why does its say it then? He loved niggers.

Tennyson: was a stilted Victorian court poet and pretty uninspiring, the academics are right.

Ezra Pound: one of the worst examples of American dilettantism. Literalizing the literality of modernism is a sure way to destroy poetry.

Wallace Stevens: He's part of a second wave of American modernism (dilettantism) that apparently didn't get the message from the first half. His so called "paganism" is fluty-to-do whimsical emoting, an inverted Americanized Christianism that wrecks his poetic aspirations

Melville wasn't a Christian, he wasn't a moralizer either

>Emily Dickinson: muh vagina
Emily Dickinson's poetry isn't really distinctively feminine in theme

>J.D. Salinger: shit
wrong

>John Keats: didn't sufficiently understand what he was saying when he said "truth is beauty". Keats was a typical dilettante, hence his utterly naïve, if not bourgeois view of nature.
I see you have not read his letters, nor any other poems besides 'Grecian Urn'

>Tennyson: was a stilted Victorian court poet and pretty uninspiring, the academics are right.
Incredibly stupid, his contemporaries put him down because they were being contrarian but he is of the school of poets that started with Dante. 'In Memoriam' is quite inspiring as well as 'Ulysses'.

Agree on all except my nigga Keats, he was taken out too early and his poetry didn't have a chance to mature, but the inklings of immense genius are undeniable.

Of many opinions this anon had,
In the same sense of a pot having air.
He left no one wiser than 'fore he came
But killed many brain cells within the span.

Though he thought wit was what he retained,
In truth, his words were rather quite tame.
The standard rebellion a schoolchild provides
Against a prescription of books for the mind,

Combined with an incel's vigorous hate
Born from too little sex on the plate.
If he had talent or will to design
A plan of assault on the gentler kind -

Procure a wife who was silly as he
And could listen to prattle for company -
Might he, then, aspire for more
Than the stank air he simply absorbs?

The answer is No- for despite his din
He knew not what kind of hell he was in.
