Literature about nature.
Literature about nature
Most good books about nature are actually anti-nature. Blood Meridian, Butcher's Crossing, The Peregrine all warn against romanticizing the wilderness. Thoreau was a fucking hack.
have you ever heard of poetry?
that's where the good nature stuff is. nature is more of a lyrical than narrative topic.
...
most of that is faggy romanticism shit. are there good modern poets of nature?
this dudes p good,
Everybody's gonna say Walden but it's honestly just 200 pages of "I;m thinking about thos beans"

I disagree pretty strongly, but my favorite of the three is Keats is Coughing.
Walden isn't really about nature. It's a "NEET's Guide to Life" book. His mom did his laundry and cooked him tendies every weekend.

I don't like his meter. It's like slam poetry or freestyle rap.
I agree with this faggot.
