Hmm I really enjoyed a lot of these.

I think enjoying these poems requires some type of literary understanding that I don't yet have.

Delightful. I don't really understand a lot of his more difficult poems (abstracted, bizarre word breaks, fractured, etc), but I appreciate his more accessible poems. This anthology was about 50/50.
