There are some theological points on which and ways in which I think Williams is dangerously wrong, but even so there are some lines and ideas that get me every time, including the last lines of The Region of the Summer Stars: "Kneeling after the Eucharist, the Pope said, / for the riches of loss, Magnificat; prostrate he prayed: / `Send not, send not, the rich empty away.'"

The poem "Bors to Elayne: on the King's Coins" is one that strikes me deeply every time I read it, at first as the striking phrases scattered through its otherwise irregular rhythm leap out at me, and then as I reread it and its economic/political/religious ideas sink in. This poem alone justifies my placement of the collection on my list of "books everyone should read" ... except it assumes too much of the reader.

Genuinely not sure if this man is a genius or batshit crazy... I needed a critical introduction before I could make a start in the reading though
