![]() The complete poetry book isn't coming out because of a lack of interest. I haven't read the Dream Of X version yet but I have a feeling it won't contain everything good about the original. He keeps going over his daily routines and reminding you about things in case you had forgotten. People often mention the attempt at archaic language being the main flaw but I don't know why more people don't recognise that the main flaw is how much he repeats himself and even acknowledges several times that he is repeating himself! ![]() There are sexist, prudish and annoying old soul-mate ideas wrapped up in the romance though. I love that and I feel like it changed my life in an odd way. Reading him describe her is like listening to someone make high pitched squee sounds when they see something unbelievably cute. People tend to regard this as one of the most obnoxious parts but I found it really moving, infectious and it increased my appreciation of adorable cutesy petite girls by a hundred times. I want to say something about The Night Land that people would probably advise I keep secret: I loved the romance parts with Mirdath/Nani. I think I'm only missing a few poems but it'd be nice to have them all. ![]() ![]() ![]() A book of Hodgson's complete poetry is coming out at the end of the year. ![]()
