Abstract
Contrary to their reputation as difficult, intellectual poets, T. S. Eliot and Geoffrey Hill speak to us, and to each other, with a feeling for the untaught, faultier kinds of reading and understanding that they themselves invite n a relation made all the stranger by Hills critical antipathy towards Eliot, which (dis)figures a poetic imagination prone to turn in on itself. From this, the essay proceeds to a consideration of Hill's 1998 book-length poem The Triumph of Love, sounding the fine line between simplicity and difficulty, knowing and unknowing, which conditions its concerns with martyrdom and martyrial utterance.
