unique/provocative/weird poems

[Erichtho]

All these avant-garde poets all seem to start with Cummings, and to get more and more pointless as they go. Lets be honest, it may be interesting to see a new style like that, but no body is going to remember any of it the way they do other poetry. [...]

Morgenstern wrote his poetry some years before Cummings, and I quite like it. His poems are very humorous and also critical, which also applies to some of Jandl's work.

Concerning Jandl: His poem lichtung (probably the most famous) is printed in many schoolbooks, and in secondary school I had to write an analysis on schtzngrmm. We really studied his "poetry".

Haha, interesting! Do you perchance remember any of the analysis? I'd very much like to know what there is to it.

When I said start with Cummings I meant build off of Cummings. But unlike them, they are less readable. Lets be honest, who really wants to read a bunch of gibberish and try to piece a meaning. When I read a poem I want something I can take with me, and mutter to myself over and over.

From what I know, it is about trench warfare in world war 1. I prefer Owen to this, of course, as most people do.
