Weeeell, it's the kind of poetry people tend to like because of the content and 'values', rather than for any real formal qualities (beyond messiness).
He's often using
enjambement
(the practise of splitting
meaning over
line breaks)
to make the sentences look
more 'poetic'
than
they actually are
and to be honest, this is personal, but
I really hate it when people can't
be
bothered to make the first letter of the line a capital.
I see all this as being rather akin, in its own way, to the poetry of the post-Tennysonian, pre-Poundian, Iambic Pentametric patriotic abyss, or to novels like The Kite Runner. In its defense there is some good phanopoia - some good images - in Bukowski. |
