Internet Confusion and Response

The great Tomas Transtroemer has been awarded the Nobel Prize for his poetry http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15200547

 and then I saw this little exchange on the internet http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/10/06/tomas-transtromers-latest-poetry-collection-an-excerpt/tab/comments/#comment-508669

So instantly this came up in response.

On confusion over Tomas Transtroemer's Nobel award; is he dead?

So many are dead already

Unable to use words with any deep meaning or skill.

The sun standing above the autumn winds

Calls the words forward

But they are stuck in the marshes

Unheard, quagmired in fettered imagination.

Double Yay and WTF?!

Ring out from the central reservation

Of the sanitised and armcoed dual-carriageway road into winter.

Hopefully I wait for the new moon.
