I recently worked my way through Heaney's Openend Ground. It was great, and Heaney has probably the most distinct and consistent 'voice' I've seen poetry. Every word is lethally accurate and precise yet completely natural. I'm also finishing a copy of Auden's selected poems, which haven't been very satisfying - they tend to have complicated or contradictory imagery that makes them confusing for the most part (I really got it because of "Shield of Achilles"). Any advice on getting into them?

Pandering chicken-scratches if you ask me, and I love Scotland.

Was browsing Philip Larkin's Complete Poems in the library. For some reason his oeuvre just seems like an extension of the first stanza of Eugene Onegin. I like his irreverence.
