Recently I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's books.
He had his own style that he wrote in an specially humours and ironic way which is really appealed to me.
And also Georgw Owell as well.
What about you?
I think it's hard to understand a poem throughourly completely in a different language. But even the best translation still can't show the essence of the original work in 100%.
For example I like Shakespeare's sonnets. They are so beautiful! But many old English words were used by him and we don't use them anymore now. That makes me quite confused. And also some of the grammar are really hard to understand. So I think it's really difficult to get the meanings.
And for me, I love Oscar Wilde, Shelley and Rupert Brooke from England,
Allen Ginsberg and e.e.cummings from America,
and French poet Baudelaire.
Also, my favourite poets in my native language(Chinese) are苏轼,顾城,海子and洛夫.
Are there any poets or poems that you would like to recommand to me?
It would be great if you'd like to attach the original text below:)
