Long and eclectic list! Awesome! Thanks! \o/ It's humbling to have stumbled into poetry-land; it's like when I was first starting out with my theatre major and people were like "Brecht! Chekhov! McDonagh! Stoppard!" And I was like, "...Yes? Are we taking role? .-. "
Oh, "Fable" *is* good. Funny how you can tell a work's translated; most translation gives things this precise formality. I don't think there's any way to translate poetry, really, quite; like drama, it's so based on sound and language-play.
People write some of the most beautiful pieces about war. It's like it makes people look at everything harder.
