Now those are intriguing reactions, Adam, especially as regards Donaghy. I'll have to hunt around and add links later, but I know there's stuff on these boards that expresses quite favorable opinions of him, particularly of his posthumous collected and his essays.
My own reaction to D. is mixed, and I've assumed the fault was mine and it marked me as a Reader of Very Little Brain--sometimes Donaghy is just difficult. But would you say more about which poems don't satisfy you and why?
And I mean either Paterson or Donaghy or both.
