What is the author's style in Eating Poetry by Mark Strand?

In "Eating Poetry," the language is simple and precise, written (or spoken) in a very brief, controlled manner. What makes this especially interesting in Strand's poetry is that the simple language is juxtaposed against a complex, easily misinterpreted background of abnormal events. He describes these wild, uncanny circumstances with the conventional monotony of a recipe. And, yet, the poem is far from monotonous.
