That's all important, if he were writing documentation or a technical manual.
That the reader is required to make some effort to un-knot the language is a legitimate tool of the poet. Some are too impatient, used to sound-bytes from a tv personality perhaps, and won't open them selves to something novel or evocative. It has to 'make sense' grammatically and semantically. Poetry is often neither of those.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoOkay but he is a novelist. I didnt sign up for a book full of confusing necrophelia poetry. Ultimately this is all a matter if taste
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoExactly. Not a matter of an incompetent writer who just won't say things plainly and grammatically.
- DontchaKnowit 3y agoOkay sure. I do not have a problem with his skill, but rather his style.
- JoeAltmaier 3y agoTortured to be sure! Not a fan myself.
