Recently I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's books.

He had his own style that he wrote in an specially humours and ironic way which is really appealed to me.

And also Georgw Owell as well.

What's the best way to appreciate foreign poetry? Who are your favorite poets?

I think it's hard to understand a poem throughourly completely in a different language. But even the best translation still can't show the essence of the original work in 100%.

For example I like Shakespeare's sonnets. They are so beautiful! But many old English words were used by him and we don't use them anymore now. That makes me quite confused. And also some of the grammar are really hard to understand. So I think it's really difficult to get the meanings.

And for me, I love Oscar Wilde, Shelley and Rupert Brooke from England,
Allen Ginsberg and e.e.cummings from America,
and French poet Baudelaire.
Also, my favourite poets in my native language(Chinese) are苏轼,顾城,海子and洛夫.

Are there any poets or poems that you would like to recommand to me?

It would be great if you'd like to attach the original text below:)

A Film Revision of Trainspotting Trainspotting is a film directed by Danny Boyle based on Irvine Welsh's novel. It's definitely one of my favorite films, for its special scottish style and outstanding shooting technique. The film was about sex, drugs, betrayal and living decadently. A bunch of people spend their life in a decadent way. Having experienced a series of accident, they finally make up their mind to change their lives into ordinary. However Mark is bored with them and doesn't want to play around with them again so he stoles all their money to start his own new life in the end. The actors were very distinguished, especially Ewan Mcgregor, my favorite actor, as Mark and Johnny Lee Miller featuring Sick Boy. Young actors though they were, they grabbed the key to the characters and acted them out in their own way. One scene i remembered most clearly was where Mark was in the toilet, trying to find his suppository in the stool, and then lost himself in the illusion after taking drugs. In addition, its soundtracks added to its excellence to a great extent. Plenty of rock songs were used in the film which foil the atmosphere a lot, especially Lou Reed's Perfect Day. The whole film was like a super rock star on stage such as Iggy Pop or David Bowie. It amazingly reflects the really life that the youths in that generation live and shows a kind of rebellious spirit somewhat. "Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a starter home. Choose dental insurance, leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose your future. But why would anyone want to do a thing like that?"as it questioned by Mark, the hero of the film, what are we really looking for in this blank, impetuous era? Why can't we just leave all the meaningless things aside and be what whoever we want to be? We can simply just enjoy our lives and find a better utopian spiritual sustenance.
