Mr. Burroughs' poetry reminds me of John Milton's poetry. It's NOT at all in the meaning of the words. It is in his use of the music of language: the way consonants act as delimiters of vowel sounds, the way tempo varies (different from the concept of 'feet') , the way I feel the changes in volume when reading the poems aloud to myself.
