Which famous, dead, white poet are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Here is something laboring under the burden of potential; Quizilla's Which Famous, Dead, White Poet Are You? allows you to pick from nine poets, all very Anglo, and very beloved by the Canon. You take a "test," tally your score and are told you are either Homer, ee cummings, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Bill Shakespeare, Sylvia "the oven" Plath, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti or Lord Byron. This would be a neat quiz if there were a broader choice to select from.
My quiz results read as follows: You are Lord Byron! Quite the Ladies' man, Byron wrote during the early 19th century. He was born with a deformity, and much of his life was spent with a sense of urgency, trying to suck up as much life as he could to make up for his own insecurities. He was a bisexual and died very young of fever. Ah, to suck up life … through a straw, no doubt.
