Exactly, he was a poetic prodigy. I really can't put my finger on it but the
poems just didn't reach me on an affective/visceral level. They didn't strike
me as particularly lyrical like, for instance Rilke can be (which I like).
Maybe I've just read too much brut stuff and it's ruined me for it I don't
know.
