a remarkable collection -- powerful, moving, engaging, inviting, memorable

This guy has great work- reminiscent of a young Wesley Willis
-
I do not think Williams is mediocre - I believe the point of writing is to create an experience for the reader, to communicate an emotional experience, not to be didactic and tell them how to think about something.

Williams is a mediocre poet and sort of creepy

This particular poet is not the best example, but in many of the greatest English poems each word is deliberately selected for its literal and figurative meaning, its emotional impact, its etymology, its connotations and associations, the sound of it and so on. Yes, there's lots of lazy poetry out there, but there are also many poets who put painstaking effort into their work in order to convey a very specific meaning. Many of the greatest English poems are the opposite of vague.

Absolutely incredible writing. He paints a very vivid picture in all of his poems that I can almost imagine myself living inside of them.
