here_2_help Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I've studied T.S. Eliot but he's too hard to be my favorite. I need to have several reference books by my side as I navigate his works. I've studied Shakespeare but I have a problem with iamibic pentameter, and the sonnets are in a very difficult format for me. He's a genius, unless you go with T.S. Eliot's view and consider "Hamlet" to be an artistic failure. (I don't, but still ...) Wallace Stevens simply baffles me. I'm just not up to the task. Can I go with Byron? Yeah, I'm going with Lord Byron, the rock star of his era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
