I prefer reading the transcendental writers because they  are less conforming with society. Like one of the poets said, he feels that his his jailed body has a more freed mind than those who's bodies aren't imprisoned. They don't give in and do what society wants them to do, or they don't do it if they don't believe in doing it. They have a mind of their own and wont back down. They stick up for what they believe in. As a result, i find their writing much more interesting. They have a more controversial style of writing that is just fun to read.
