[epileptiform]

typical.

[junk_journal]

ha, so i'm gathering that you're aren't impressed. any particular objections?

[epileptiform]

they're all anglo? english is a terribly limiting language to write poetry in.

[junk_journal]

hmm, you may well be right. i bet poets like celan or breton for instance have worlds within them that become lost in translation. however, i don't read any other language, so, alas, i have to limit myself to the poverty of english verse! what are some of your favourite non-english poets, if you don't mind me asking?

[epileptiform]

so polite! sorry i don't have an answer for you just yet.

[junk_journal]

well, whenever you can manage it is fine with me. i would definately like to know your favourites though. any opportunity to expand my knowledge on poetry is a source of immense excitement. :)
