@TommyTomato93 ad hominem lamer

@Weed69TacoBell i'm eighteen, not a lonely middle-aged man. if you're into that bleak misanthropic type of poetry, then put down berryman and read larkin. that's all i'm going to say. not here to argue.

@Weed69TacoBell dude, your name is "Weed69TacoBell." somehow that doesn't really demonstrate that you have a great extent of knowledge yourself. i'm guessing you're a 20-something-year-old unambitious pseudo-intellectual who likes to read bad poets like berryman and bukowski and pretend that you know something about literature when you really don't.

this guy was a fucking weirdo. people only read him because they're fascinated by artists who committed suicide. same goes with sylvia plath.

Great video except for the annoying high-pitch tone in the background throughout.

youtube is such a cool invention, great authors like Ray Carver or Berryman who up until watching these videos I knew only through their text - are given a voice.
It's always interesting as you form an unconscious image of the author or a work you read and seeing the reality of it sometimes matches with that and sometimes surprises you.

This video, in all trueness, is not boring.
