I agree that it's maybe possible that Creely or Bukowski have, at some point, written a lasting poem. However, from what I've read of either, I remain dubious. You are right, though, about poets like that getting to teens---a girl ordered Bukowski's book at the bookstore where I work a week or so ago, and she didn't seem to have had much exposure to him beforehand (she told us she wanted something by the poet "Burkowski"---I knew who she meant of the bat, but...well...spelling was never my strong suit.)
And I'm wondering: is it pretentious to sign your posts? I've been shying away from it of late, but it just feels right. Oh well.
