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.
