YES!! most of them are good, from my pov. i reckon he's one of the most
interesting poets around. his recent volume Hay shows great linguistic
dexterity. maybe it's the tensions within his version of the pastoral, the
shifts from the 'comic' to the 'serious', his language-play, subterfuges re
pop culture and 'tradition'... and so on... i'm not going to expand,though
an essay will appear some time down the track...
best,
