reordering the mess

A rearranged bad poem is a bad poem rearranged. (Thinking of some of Ted Berrigan's sonnets.)

    Berrigan seems to me a terrible poet however you or he or we configure his work. Prove me wrong! Just one excellent Ted Berrigan poem is all I ask...

  3. I recently read the whole Sonnets and was shocked at how few poems of interest I found. I'll have to go back to see if I dogeared at least a couple of pages as keepers.

  4. Very nice. A dose of reality for all of us perhaps.
