The Collected Poems by Kenneth Koch

5.0

When I now speak of my favorite poets, Kenneth Koch is definitely among the top of my list of favorites. Genius and wildly inconsistent, his work varies from incisive and brilliant meditations to nonsensical jargon. Many of these poems are repetitive or make no sense, but the thrill of reading through this was incomparable to anything else I’ve read. The book I’ve laughed at the most.
