C.K. Williams

Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This seems nothing but description to me. Sure, it is excellently wrought, heavily considered, well-written description. But in the end, it has not moved-- not transformed-- not gone anywhere. That is boring, and that is what the Pulitzer people seem to like It's not enough to be a describer of things. Newspapers already do that very well. To be a poet, you've got to go somewhere, be something.
