Title: Hugh on his game. . .
Product review: I'm a longtime Kenner fan who picked up this title at an Arizona book sale. Perfect condition, hardcover, with DJ and all vintage Kenner. I read it in two or three sittings by the pool. Naturally, it includes a number of his bang-on insights, while focusing on a few writers that surprise. I always enjoy HK's views on Eliot and FM Ford, tho I'm still not convinced that Charles Tomlinson was/is the heir apparent to the crown of modern poetry. Kenner wasn't a major fan of Virginia Woolf or WH Auden and it's hard to disagree with him there. OTOH, he champions Basil Bunting and that is only fitting. I now want to find a copy of Briggflats. Good old Hugh, RIP. Yes, Pound Era is better but read this too. . .
