Jones' Anathemata is the greatest long poem of the last century. I adore all his work, and view him as coming at the end of an age. Poetry is largely dead, and without poetry we all are dead. Post-Jones, only a few good poems made there way from the mundus imaginalis to reality, such as Kathleen Raine's "Millennial Hymn to Lord Shiva."
