To start: Walt Whitman, always felt like he was an actor who had taken himself in, posing as the Second Coming etc, desperately needed a sense of irony :-(

On the flip side, poet I suspect may be full of poo poo but love anyway: Wallace Stevens, who may have once characterized his own poetry as "lustred nothingness" :-)

What writers do you think are full of poo poo, Book Barn?

Curse you Hayard-Gunnes!
JD Salinger. That smug prick. Once, when I found out he was famously reclusive, I drew up a budget for how much it would cost to go punch him in the face. Ultimately it was too expensive for me at the time.
