Rabih Alameddine@rabihalameddine·Feb 14, 2020One of the more underrated writers. It kills me that so few read him.24
Ilya Kaminsky@ilya_poet·Feb 14, 2020Really? I always thought of him as a classic and he is in most bookstores I frequent. I guess people read him as much as they read other classics of the time, no?11
Rabih Alameddine@rabihalameddine·Feb 14, 2020Might be his best. My favorite might be Old Masters. The Loser is also great14
Ilya Kaminsky@ilya_poet·Feb 14, 2020Yep. I hear the same thing about E. M. Cioran. Though they say "intelligence and style" instead of "aching love" in that case.12
Rabih Alameddine@rabihalameddineReplying to @ilya_poet @MaazaMengiste and @GarthGreenwellAnd I love that you brought up Cioran, my favorite read on Valentine's!4:29 PM · Feb 14, 2020·Twitter Web Client3 Likes
