"[William Dunbar] has at his command a resonant singing voice (a voice to lift a roof with) and a goblin energy which Chaucer has not." --CS Lewis (via @cwhowell123)
"The Ewok television films depict a gas giant in the sky..."
All good poets write for the ear. Lately, Geoffrey Hill in the UK, immediately springs to mind. In the USA, the alliterative poets are trying to bring that back, but too many are just smart people who end their lines before the page edge because they think they're supposed to.
