adjectiveuncrafted (not comparable)
- not comparableNot crafted.
The closer a poet is to the subject he elegizes, the more we expect him to respond in ways that aren’t “poetic” but it takes craft to make a poem seem uncrafted, and it takes words to show how short our words can fall.
2008 March 30, David Orr, “In Memoriam”, in New York Times
