From Kafka to J. Alfred Prufrock. Featured image copyrighted by Mark Tulin
Many thanks to Kafka, Camus, and T.S. Eliot for questioning life. They made me not feel like such a robot. To be an existentialist is to question the meaning of life, which I seem to do well. If anyone has figured it out, let me know. The following is a list of stories, letters, and poetry—all existentialism-related.
Some of my existentialistic works at Medium.com:
- A poem that gives off a T.S. Eliot vibe: Existential Cigarette.
- A letter to my favorite poetic character in Letter to J. Alfred Prufrock.
- A page from a Samuel Beckett play in Waiting for Doctor Godot in Examining Room #7.
- A quirky poem on an existential wire called Kafka Crow.
- What all existentialists feel like in Drifting on a Raft.
Two more existential poems you might enjoy:
- A bitter view of God in God at Sundown.
- As an existentialist, we search for meaning—but it slips through our fingers. Read Sojourner of Truth.
Complement of the Week:
- Ken Martin wrote a comment after reading my poem in Relatives, Friends, and Strangers. “You’re one of the writers I always read first.” Now that’s what I like to hear, especially coming from a poet that I admire.
My existential movie suggestion is called “Jan-Francois and the Meaning of Life.” It’s about a Spanish boy’s search for Camus.
To find my books, which are six now, you can either go to my website or Amazon.com:
