Wait by C. K. Williams, poetry, 125 pages.
I found Williams' poems the most cerebral and difficult of any that I have recently read. It wasn't until the second section, beginning with the poem "Light" that I felt that not all of it was passing over head, some of it was sinking in. I enjoyed several of the poems later in the collection, the Maritn Luther King poems, and the last poem "Jew on Bridge" about Dostoyevsky and anti-semitism, but mostly they are a fierce and angry lot, and not read for the joy they bring.
