None of them compare to poets now.
I don't get how you idiots get so caught up in things that are so fucking old.
It literally does not matter anymore. It's just a way to make college kids spend more money to suck off some white old dudes crusty sack.
Literally does not matter.

he never fought in the war. he was just outraged because it looked nasty.
try Robert Fucking Graves, who DID fight on the front lines and was injured twice. and THEN had to talk a military review around to the idea that his friend Siegfried Sassoon was insane because he criticized the war in a letter to a newspaper, so they wouldn't shoot him.
wilfred owen? didn't he write a poem about farts?

you will never know what it's like to have a commanding officer threaten to have you shot if you don't climb out of a shit- and mud-filled trench, to face a line of machine guns. in real life.

Not poetry, but Regeneration is a good book about their relationship in a mental hospital.
Wilfred fucking Owen and Wittgenstein for succinctly paraphrasing Nietzsche with a sentence
