I find this a curious thing for someone to say in the light
of Nil Nil. I know you've already posted your vehemence
re- this book, but to say he's written no poems worth a damn
is unfair. Unfortunately my copy is in storage -
I wanted to post chunks of "The Alexandrian Library" and
"The Winterbourne". Linguistically & structurally he's
quite adventurous. Sure, he's no Prynne, so you won't find
those kinds of linguistic risks, but he can still bowl
a well-disguised wrongun', and he knows where his off-stump is.
