William Burroughs Comments

E Babb 29 December 2018

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.
