Recommend poetry!

I'd go for Emily Dickinson, Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath. I especially like Dickinson, but Plath and Sexton are undoubtedly more weird and deranged. After all, they both committed suicide. Lately I've been reading plenty of 16th and 17th century English poetry, and there is also some good stuff there... Maybe a bit too religion/philosophy-based stuff mostly, but there's also plenty of almost pornographic stuff. But perhaps that's not what you had in mind... Anyway, I want the new Farmakon album so I can interview you guys again for Imperiumi!!

English poetry??!?!? How gay is that!

Read finnish stuff, Eino Leino and Mika Waltari!!

Ok, Edgar Allan Poe is a safe choice.

I know man... anyway, Eino Leino is gay, Mika Waltari is not quite what i'm looking for and i've read everything worth reading by Poe. I wish i could find something like Danii Kharms but in lyrical form.

I'll check those out if i can find them. And there's nothing wrong with religious and especially philosophical stuff.

Yea ok, if we'll ever get anything done we'll get you a promo some way.

Hell yeah! Last time I had to buy the album myself! On the other hand, I hate the fuckin' slipcase promos that don't have lyrics and shit. And I want to have the lyrics so that I can spot out the Muumi and masturbation themes there! I mean, if they're there...
