Nws at Eleven: [C.K. Williams] is much more talkative

and discursive; he is not primarily interested in figurative language; and while his poems are often powerfully concluded he seems almost to avoid quotable, epigrammatic endings such as Simpson's "To the Western World", where "Grave by grave we civilise the ground". A Williams poem is not fixated on its own ending as a lyric poet might be; the ending serves the complete poem rather than signalling in shy triumph to the reader: look, I've pulled it off again.
