You should read some more lighthearted stuff, seems very grim. Maybe try some more Camus like "The Rebel", or Simone Weil as a bridge. Reading Deleuze without Aristotle is silly, hope you didn't do that. Pessoa and Rimbaud are good. Perhaps you like Rilke or Holderlin?

I like Weil, Rilke and Holderein. I'm a melancholic soul I guess but also I think art that deals with dark themes is often more interesting and oddly life affirming than ones that just want to comfort you. That said, it doesn't feel like a conscious choice most of the time

>Pizarnik

You'd get the same enjoyment out of reading a bunch of notable tweets. Pizarnik, much like Violeta Parra and Gabriela Mistral, are "artists" who are more important in their context rather then their work, but who don't hold up if you take away le "Omggg she's so crazy and quirky and a woman" points.

Peterson has The Painted Bird?

Can't think of another public intellectual who has reputation has fallen so fast and by his own doing too

Should've just stayed in his lane lecturing university students on Jung, Dostoyevsky, bits and pieces of religion and psychoanalysis instead of getting lost in the culture wars crap and making of an arse of himself by making weird conspiratorial claims on French poststructralism

For someone who claims postmodernism is the downfall of Western civilisation, I can't think of another figure in academia who embodies that as much as him, as well as all the other IDW grifters who he hangs out with

I'm reading Cyrill Scott's translation of Les fleurs du mal right now. Speaking as someone who never had an interest in poetry, I like it a lot. I just wish I could read the original along with all of the other Decadent writers.
