Too vague, Tim. Does it mean:
I don't have acquaintance of any good American poets who don't drive.
or
I don't have any knowledge of any good American poets who don't drive.
and, if the latter, is that since the invention of the automobile; or of all time (meaning Poe, Whitman, Dickenson, etc. weren't "good")?
Then there's the other meanings of "drive":
"I don't know any good American poets who don't play golf."
or
"I don't know any good American poets who don't drive you nuts with meaningless posts on Eratosphere." (like this)
