Loved

I don't spend a lot of time rereading the juvenilia but and his first collection is not among books that I, you know, particularly savor in reading but his three subsequent poetry collections are just endlessly fascinating to me and so emotive and understated, graphic at times, but intensely moving. There is a muted power to these poems that is unparalleled in the English literary tradition.
