MacDairmid used the word "gallimaufry' in reference to his epic poem "A Drunk Man Looks at a Thistle", describing it as a 'hodge podge' of collected pieces fit into a unified framework. My adjective of 'flavorful' just refers to his delicious use of language, most often writing in Scots. It really must be read out loud to be fully appreciated. Of course I took a whole year of Scottish Poetry while at Edinburgh so I had a lot of help figuring it out.
