          I’m no expert on him but he’s a great essayist. I learned of him through a George Steiner essay, and I already had that Greek translations book so when someone on IQfy recommended The Geography of the Imagination to me in a different thread my interest was piqued. It was a couple of months til Nonpareil released the version I have so I waited and I’m honestly disappointed with the publisher. It’s scanned in and has errors. The essays are top notch though. He should definitely be more widely read

          I’ll check it out.

            The titular essay is phenomenal. He’s also sparked some interest in poets I never I’d be looking forward to reading, like Zukofsky, Olson, Moore. His essay on Joyce makes me respect Ulysses even more despite having a love hate relationship with the book

        It just came out recently so it’s probably not online yet. I’m in the same boat as you and have a couple other Byron books but I feel they could be better. I do like his poetry but I think the biggest appeal of Byron is his life and person. I’m hoping this edition forms some type of narrative to some extent which it looks like it may. I haven’t really looked into it too deeply but if you want his complete poetry it’s lacking. Even the longer poems are broken up. I’m hoping that division is to make some type of narrative to fit into his letters and journals. It’s packed with his letters. I’ll make a post about it once I read some, probably this weekend

            His memoirs were destroyed sadly. It was probably someone pulling your leg. There are letters and journal entry collections though but obviously not as scandalous as the burnt memoirs. If the anon wasn’t pulling your leg, I’m sure there are other collections but the Everyman Library just published this specific book, so it’s probably not this one, though it may serve a similar purpose. Sorry I’m not able to answer what the best Byron journal/letter collection is but I’d also be interested in hearing. It’s probably a tragedy we never got the memoir that was burnt

            "Professor Lattimore is like an engraver copying a painting. The color of the original must everywhere appear in his work as monochrome shades. This need not have been, but Professor Lattimore chose to have it that way. He is not writing an English poem; he is writing a translation. He does not relish the half-compliment that Pope had to suffer; he has not written a very pretty poem that must not be called Homer. He has written a sprawling poem that imitates Homer along certain aesthetic lines. It is sometimes severely controlled, stately, grave; it is also a mussy poem, flaring out of control, losing contact with both Greek and English"

      how do you feel about the lawrence poems? was thinking of grabbing a copy but i read a few of them online and i thought they were very mid compared to his essays

      • 1 month ago
        Anonymous

        He’s one of my favorite writers but I just recently got into his poems. I loved his novels, stories, and essays but his poetry fell flat. I read some essays on his poetry that kinda opened my eyes and mind so I decided to actually put more effort getting into his poems and it worked. For me, the spirit of Lawrence and his ideas are why I’m drawn to him and that spirit is in the poetry. Birds, Beasts, and Flowers is by far the best of his poetry that I’ve read IMO. The philosophy and, for lack of a better description, primal mysticism really shines through in those poems. His later collection Pansies is almost aphoristic and extremely stripped down, very hit and miss but lots of good short pieces. Some say it isn’t poetry. Even if that’s so, Lawrence is still in that writing. I haven’t read a lot of his earlier poems so I don’t have much of an opinion but there were a few good ones

        I think poetry in general is very hit or miss. In a thousand page poetry collection there will be many duds. That’s just the nature of the poet, especially the prolific poet. I guess what worked for me was switching up the cart and horse in a way, I came to Lawrence’s poetry already liking Lawrence a lot, and I was able to see how the poems fit into Lawrence’s life and ideas, instead of liking the poetry and moving onto the poet, if that makes sense. What I look for in poetry is the “spirit”. I don’t like every Whitman, Blake, or Williams poem, but I like what they are about, their philosophies, and their soul. Lawrence is now in the same boat for me, poetry wise

    Something about Westerns reading Japanese literature just rubs me the wrong way, similar in feels to when I visited Japan. There I witnessed in the National Museum, Europeans stacked arsehole to elbow deep to ogle at Japanese swords. Personally I blame this phenomenon on c**ts such as Taratino, and modern institutionalised (from the schooling system) "lad" culture wherein wienersuckers just never grew up to mature past the mentality of a teenager, whose Mammy washes his clothes and cooks his grub. IQfy is just a byproduct and accelerator. Anyways, I'll leave a picture of my latest purchases and hopefully engage in a meaningful discourse with a like-minded feen.

      No. I prefer to be more judgemental. Life is easy enough, so why not create some hardship in the sense of pushing yourself to be a cut above the remarkable mediocrity of modern life. I myself find it remarkable that daily life can diverge yet people continue on by lets use an example of a television. Some people just gave up with this medium entirely, yet others continue on by buying ever more modern appliances and engaging in daily rituals of viewership.

        >Martial

        That one epigram is one of the most emotional things I’ve ever read. Most people who read him know when they get to it. Saying Martial’s tone changes is an understatement and the abruptness of it hits extra hard

        >Juvenal

        He’s a funny ass dude but low key one of the most informative Roman writers. Just like Martial you get a better feeling of what the times were like better than the writers who focus on the 1% and the major events. There’s oddly something comfy about them too as they humanize a legendary time

        >Prometheus Bound

        I’ve come to the conclusion it’s my favorite Greek tragedy. IMO one of the most profound and symbolic things ever written about the human race. There is a duality that runs through it that I find intriguing and exemplifying “the human condition”. It’s a bummer we never found the rest of that series. I’ll probably check out Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound in the near future even though I don’t consider myself a Shelley guy

        I Ching is foundational to all the Taoist nonsense and you get a sense for the order of heaven and earth and how to act within it. It describes situations and flaws in them on the surface level, and then gets deep into changing states of energy and the image itself. The Wilhelm-Baynes edition offers the most context to the philosophy and is valuable just for that. When you internalize it, you don't need to consult it.

      great haul but damn, taking all those stickers off is gonna be a pain. unless that kinda stuff doesn't bother you. some essential stuff in there!

        yeah the stickers always suck. the worst part is they typically take a chunk of the cover's finish with them :'( my whole haul attached
