Congratulations! See below to find out which Loud Coffee Press Poet House you belong!
Mostly A’s - You are the introvert author in Emily Dickinson’s Reclusive Ranch. You are a writer of great power and definitive voice. You pride yourself on your quiet nature and societal seclusion. You enjoy the finer simplicities of life, but think deeply about the big questions, like death, immortality, and who the heck designed “the ranch” with such tenacity.
Mostly B’s - You ponder your prose in Alan Watts’ Tao Tent. You are the bridge between the composed and the natural world, and a taker-of-risks attempting to describe the indescribable. Proceeding over the alter of life, you marry ideas to each other, philosophizing up and down this great big planet… all while waking up daily to a home into which you’re comfortably zipped.
Mostly C’s - You eviscerate your imagination in Charles Bukowski’s Transgressive Trailer. You are a writer with a voice of distinction and clarity. A person of endurance, a humanitarian, and someone with an eye for reality, you rely little on your material possessions. Though you may suffer from periods of disillusionment and imbibery, you put in honest work and channel your thoughts into poetry. The trailer park speaks for itself, you declare.
Mostly D’s - You’re a nature creator in Robert Frost’s Landscape Lodge. In the attempt to find the lodge, you took two roads, one more traveled than the other, but both led you here (despite popular interpretation). Both a teacher and a writer, journalist and politician, you enjoy the disciplined world that you insist be your way. Virtuous though you are, you sit high in your grand lodge, staring down your nose at those in tents and trailers. You are okay with ranches.
