Buffistas

You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

Discussion Threads

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Robert Service? Don Marquis? Guy Wetmore Carryl?

I never much liked Robert Frost or Carl Sandburg, but I think that is because we were forced to study them in high school.

When I try to think of more modern poetry, I keep coming up with song lyrics. Woodie Guthrie. Simon & Garfunkel. Jimmy Buffet. John Prine. Jim Croce. Joan Baez. Carole King.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I’m thinking of upping my new poetry reading in 2026. And I was wondering if anyone had any recs, please.

I just suggested Marianne Moore and Elizabeth Bishop (with links) on the year-end thread.
