I've only read My Last Duchess by him, but he seems p cool. What's one of the weirder pieces by him?

Pic-related in another confusing one I like. Reading Maximus Poems now, and have no fucking clue what's going on.

Definitely Sordello

Jams Joss in Finnegan's Awake.

Seconded. Some of it I understand, but a lot of his poems are just way out there. But Stephen King understood him well enough to base his Magnum opus on his work so I guess we suck.

Read his Selected Later Poems through and I guarantee in some strange way youll begin to if not 'understand' him, at least begin to 'get' him. It's worth it.

Wallace Stevens

Feels like he just experienced life at a much higher frame rate than I do

Olson is great but so much of the Maximus Poems is masturbation. I'd suggest starting with his Selected Poetry and make sure, make SURE, you read his essay Projective Verse.
