I have written "An Introduction to Taliesin through Logres" over on my Charles Williams blog. It is designed to help you find your way through this dense, beautiful, complex poetry. Please check it out! https://theoddestinkling.wordpress.com/2016/05/12/an-introduction-to-taliessin-through-logres/.

- Plot- or character-driven? N/A
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

A complicated, yet beautifully written selection of poetry by one of The Inklings. Arthurian legends told in poetry form; these are not the common legends that we are familiar with. This collection is challenging and requires research to understand, but it well worth the effort.

Heartbreaking, because I'm finding it basically unreadable, and the experience makes me feel stupid. Remember when you were little, and some books were just to hard for you? And as you got older, they became easier to read? I'm 54, so I can't use that as an excuse anymore. I really wanted to love this, but I tried in my 20s, I tried, in my 30s, and I gave it one last go.
I like poetry--especially the Alligator Pie kind--but this sort of weird modernist poetry, regardless of subject, just isn't something I understand/enjoy/want.
Oh well, more time for Dorothy Sayers or Diana Wynne Jones.
