Gothic
Gothic
You love all things dark and twisted, the scarier the better. Getting a chill down your spine is as good as any other thrill and you love exploring the inexplicable and strange corners of this terrifying and mysterious psychosphere.
Recommendations- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Bram Stoker's Dracula, A Christmas Carol by Dickens and Edgar Allen Poe.
Stream of Consciousness
Stream of Consciousness
You are introverted and cerebral, and your thoughts go off winding freely down highways yet to be trodden, to uncharted territories. You are on a quest for self-actualisation, taking a voyage from the comfort of your safe room.
The Lost Generation
The Lost Generation
You value literature as an art form, and you enjoy the liberation it provides you with. You have an artistic temperament and can be sensitive and moody. Your life will be a boom but the booms may be followed by burnouts. Just keep writing.
Recommendations- F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Richard Yates
Modernism
Modernism
You are curious, clever and captivated by the new things you can learn from observing the world around you. You also value innovation and challenging yourself in your technique- not just in writing but in your behaviour and cognition.
Recommendations- T.S Eliot, Ezra Pound, James Joyce.
The Beat Generation
The Beat Generation
You are a free spirit, a wild wanderlust-y adventurer unrestricted by tradition and looking to experience everything at its most rich and sad and beautiful and breathless and totally madly wonderful godlike golden heavenliness. Maybe you should take a chill pill. The world will still be waiting tomorrow.
Recommendations- Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Michael McClure
Surrealism
Surrealism
Normality bores you. The world is so much more valuable when seen through a distorted lens. Your life is a circus of crazy concepts and wacky ideas. Anything out of the ordinary, unexpected and eccentric excites you.
The New York School
The New York School
You are born for the city-dweller's life, observing the rushes of the people that surround you, scribbling down your passing thoughts, and seeing life as it is- you don't believe you are anything great or special and your emotions are very human, but you can still write about the good and the bad, and see value in everything.
Recommendations- Frank O'Hara, Johanathan Asbery
Visual Poets
Visual Poets
You ought to be reading visual poems, not those structured very normal poems written out in an arrangement of letters in lines. You like to think outside the box, love art and everything creative, so reading a picture and seeing meanings in the image is perfect for you.
