I think I would appreciate this more if I hadn't had it pounded into me every damn year I was in high school through many years of college. WTH do most English professors feel the need to force the same recycled crap on their students, apparently assuming they're brilliantly introducing genius to their enthralled students who are being exposed to it for the first time? My god, after I had been forced to read and study this, and others, for the 6th or 7th consecutive year, I just wanted to puke at the name of it. And others. I was lucky to stumble across poets like Bukowski and the Beats, who let me see that there were many other alternative options of poets not historically taught or studied who were in most cases more interesting, talented and simply better than the dusty dinosaurs trotted out annually to English majors. A revelation that changed my life. I suppose if anyone alive has actually NOT read Prufrock, I'd recommend it as it is actually fairly good, but for god's sake, if you've been forced to read it over and over again and still like it, I really don't know what to say and if you come to hate it like me and aren't aware of better quality alternatives, do a little research or solicit advice from others than English professors who aren't even successful published poets themselves, very much of the time, and who then aren't in a position to judge or criticize as an actual working, publishing, successful poet who is succeeding outside of the academy. Shoot, look through my poetry collection here or even message me. I'd be happy to make some recommendations. I do recommend this for any who have not yet read it - if such even exist - but on the whole, I otherwise do not recommend it as by now it's a stale dinosaur one can appreciate historically before moving on to better, more enjoyable and more relevant poets. Of course, that's subjective... ;) ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
