Academic critiques aside, the question for me is not where he stands in the legions of poets, but whether he has provided an authentic voice that connects meaningfully with some of those who open an ear to his music. For me, the answer is a resounding "yes."<br /><br />Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03959953035812596907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319797996494487653.post-7889381958952787552014-06-02T23:55:37.598+01:002014-06-02T23:55:37.598+01:00It would be difficult for me to choose between &qu...It would be difficult for me to choose between "In My Craft or Sullen Art" and "Fern Hill."

I enjoyed last night programme by Owen Sheers about the poems. I found it interesting how Dylan tried out words from long lists. His poems work for many people but also have a multitude of connections in a rich and sensual landscape that can satisfy us all.johnthebarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14255924659739608684noreply@blogger.com
