Why are Latin writers so obsessed with the imagery of gardens?
Aiden Martinez
James Walker
because their relatives in america like doing gardening.
Cameron Cook
Don't ever call them "Latin writers" again, capiche?
Samuel Perez
Gardens are for civilized men. Not (((civilized))) like the beer drinking, israel supporting, lawn mowing baby boomers.
Nicholas Reed
>Latin writers
You mean Latin American writers? Latin writers would be like Virgil and such. And pretty much every writer is different, so not sure what you've been reading. Borges mentions in an essay that Keats had lots of flora descriptions, so it's not an exclusive feature in any kind of writing.
Ian Young
a garden, like the ancient persian concept of the paridae za, is curated wilderness. patriarchal intellectual order imposed on fecund and unknowable nature
also gardens are where you grow your shit, homeboy
Nathan Cooper
The correct term is 'Latinx'
Brody Smith
2/10 bait
Jack Smith
You don't say the Italianx or the Frenchx, so this Latinx bullshit is meaningless and useless.
Liam Foster
The Earthly Paradise in the Renaissance Epic is a good book on this, written by Bartlett Giamatti, a lit professor who become baseball commissioner.
Robert Gonzalez
It's the place you play when you're a child and rest when you're an adolescent or adult. You go there to take some hair or eat a fruit from a tree when it's the season.
Do you know the American films where they show a house with nothing but grass in front of it? In Latin America, it's a front yard full of vegetables, fruits, plants to make tea and medicine.
I'm still mad because my family cemented our garden and now there is nothing.
Owen Ortiz
It's people who have no connection with their heritage doing that cultural appropriation thing.
Grayson Wilson
No digas spic lamebotas de mierda
Jacob Brown
Pero si no imitamos a los pinches gringos en todo, entonces como seremos primer mundistas?
Daniel Butler
imitándolos en donde cuenta, no en sus mierdas.
Julian Kelly
primum lingua latina discenda est quoniam sine verbis antiquis in mente tua non carmina antiqua intelleges. Si non linguam potes discere, non poetis frueris.
Aiden Lopez
Saint Augustine started it.
