Rereading Hemingway

The re-read (poet)

Hemingway was a writer suffering from a disabling inhibition, 
the conversation he had with women in his books are based
 on wishes and not reality.
Women in his life were stronger than him, he tried 
to compensate by bawdy behavior, it always ended with him 
stroking the cat and she going back to the USA.
Ernest Heming way was an alcoholic who made his hero
take care center stage.
At times he wrote like an angel there, are lines in his writing 
that is high-class poetry.
After reading his work, setting aside his bragging
he was a great poet.

Great writer with a turbulent life, ending in suicide, as I recall

He was a great poet. This was good information shared in your write, it makes me want to read his poetry again, as well as his biography, it's been awhile. He was confusing, but I think highly of his works, love him. He was a great poet, I already said that, ha, but will leave it anyway worth repeating! :) <3 Good job!
