Samuel Beckett as a Poet

I didn't know Samuel Beckett was a poet until recently. Then I read two pages of prose, in one paragraph, called, imagination Dead Imagine'. It's one of the strangest, most intriguing things I have ever read. Like reading something written by an alien from another planet, you find yourself trying to get it, him, and yourself all at once.
Without really understanding logically any of them. Beyond the content and the incredible way he wrote it, it taught me what a prose poem is. It's definitely not prose turned into a poem. It's a poem written as prose. And so it taught me what a poem should be.
