C.K. Williams Taught Me I Was Not A Poet
By STEVE ALMOND | Special to  The Courant 
September 9, 2007 

This essay about C.K. Williams' 1987 poetry collection, "Flesh &  Blood," 
also appears on the blog Critical Mass, posted today by the National  Book 
Critics Circle. It is part of a series in which authors recall works by  past 
finalists and winners of NBCC book awards, given annually since 1974. The  website 
is _http://bookcriticscircle.blogspot.com_

At 30, I arrived in Boston, fresh from a disastrous overseas love affair,  
lonely, aggrieved and, worse yet, convinced I was a poet.
 
This made no sense.
