casparb's review against another edition
Falling Ill is another book I read that turns out to accidentally be incredibly relevant and also entirely harrowing. This is a collection an auto-elegy finished twenty days before the poet’s death so it certainly reads that way. It’s a chronicle of diagnosis & decline and Williams burns this into his art he uses no punctuation there’s an inevitable decline it’s illustrative of the increasing difficulty he had in breathing through the course of the illness & when that realisation sinks in doesnt it just shatter.
Williams is increasingly presenting himself in my estimation as a rather unsparing master of the autobiographical collection I keep thinking about All At Once & that unbelievable ending. more more more
