3.0 out of 5 stars Use of language is extraordinary but ..., July 30, 2000
By 
This review is from: Poems in English (Paperback)
I knew I was in trouble when the first poem Whoroscope had notes half as long as the poem. I don't mind poems requiring multiple readings to be understood but I don't enjoy treating a poem as an encryption problem.

On more accessible poems such as "Vulture" or "Cascando" the power of the language more than carried the poem - the cadence of the words being the characteristic first noted, then his play on words.

Ultimately, the pleasure of the poems that are immediately accessible outweighs the annoyance at the poems requiring deciphering. Hence, I will probable read additional poetry by Beckett and encourage the brave-hearted to read this volume.
