Magee Criticism

I found these sentences from "Jacket" especially relative to how I felt reading Magee.

"Puffed up with dashes, these poems make a blowhard show of associational unity — but in fact, they depend utterly upon the reader, without whom they make no sense. The reader must lend the poems an aroused and polymorphous ear, in order to create their charm for hirself. "

At first, Magee is frustrating, incomprehensible, and has no sense of direction. Magee's poems require the reader to do more than wait for the meaning to appear in front of their eyes. Each poem suggests itself differently to individual readers as if each readers brain is a search engine in itself. Magee's poem are simply the keywords, and it is the readers duty to produce results.
