Why is he so often ignored and underrated in the canon of literary modernism? He's much much better than Pound and Eliot.

Pound and Eliot still get more attention, especially in academia.

I TAKE IT YOU NOTICED HE WAS THE POEM OF THE DAY?!
Carson Diaz
Normally Williams and Eliot are the two I've seen taught, and Pound gets sidelined.

Is he? Source?

As an avid reader and true fan, I'd say he's slightly underrated rated. I do think a lot of his poems, or series of poems, the more complex ones, happen to be criminally underrated. What puzzles me about WCW is how he feels about his place in the world.
His poem(s) "Pastoral" give me a stiffy like no other. His emphasis on childhood ephemerality and color sends me a poetic flavor town.

Yea, but the poem isn't much more than a stream of consciousness poem. He's stated the poem is meaningless. Fucking tards will put meaning into anything so they can feel smart.

WCW is a hack confirmed
Leo Moore
I agree. Wcw is a hack, but William Carlos Williams is amazing
Camden Cook
>meaning
People like you are so retarded. Poetry is an art, not an arcane method of encoding "meaning". As long as a poem is beautiful, it is good.

Looks like we got a modernist on patrol.
Okay, so what poets do you like?
And most importantly, have you read any of WCW's work? Or have just read shit like "Spring and All" or "The Red Wheelbarrow"?
