Ted Berrigan is the man in my eyes.
I enjoyed his Sonnet's, and more specifically I enjoyed his worked that talked about Gertrude Stein at Radcliffe.
I thought this work was very descriptive, and engaging. I was with the poet in each stanza, and it's metronome of jagged staccatos. I felt alive. I felt that the people that he was paying homage toO were alive.
It twas this liveliness that kept me engaged, and focused on the imagery that he conjured.
I would love to read more of his work, and see how he's taken other styles and flipped them on their head to yield something anew.
Ok, good... work on expanding and saying a bit more...
