I just read Colin Burrow's review of Broken Hierarchies in the lrb, and it is not a terrible piece of work but I do find it dismal or circular or something when historically minded eng lit dons claim Hill as a great poet.
Four new volumes. I'm not going near it. going to reread Mercian Hymns instead.

Thanks, but there's a glitch on the NYer's website. That poem is in quatrains. All stanza breaks have disappeared from poems on their site, which is really annoying. Here's Shannon McArdle's version, icyi:

i agree since he unfollowed me on twitter
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 17:45 (five years ago) link
he was an incredible asshole on a message board i was on circa 2010-2011? right around the time "alien v predator" hit the new yorker. that poem is ok, but dude's essays truly reveal the total nothing going on behind his eyes
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 17:51 (five years ago) link
I think he posted here a few times. He’s a metal fan. I saw his essay collection in the bookstore the other day. Blurbed by Elif Batuman.
