Why read it?

"My Mother Disappearing" reminded me of my mother. I felt like I was right there with him as I immersed myself in his poetry. His poems remind me of Pablo Neruda, especially his early poems from Residencia en La Terra, the first and second volumes, the ones translated by Merwin in particular. They have the same raw emotional energy.
