It should be considered a poetry classic, no, I will not be taking criticism at this time

Not going to lie- this was dense and tricky to get through. I often found myself reading the same lines over and over because I just couldn't seem to keep them in my head. All the same, I found myself copying out the poems that did leave an impression into various notebooks, so it wasn't an entirely wasted effort. Came away feeling slightly unhooked from myself so if I read with more concentration, who knows what might happen?
It was something I had picked up on a whim, not knowing about his legacy or reputation and I would like to give him another try. Perhaps not while I'm sitting in a crowded bar...
