  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.
