Looks like he was poetry’s version of Thomas Kinkade

He was popular with the same kind of people maybe, but he wasn’t anything like Kinkaide. Kinkaide would have used his kids blood in the paintings if he thought he could sell more of his shit. He was a shameless huckster who used other people to do the work for him and made it abundantly clear he thought the people who bought his trash were morons who deserved to lose their money. There’s a segment from 60 Minutes with him and it’s very obvious what kind of guy he is even though they edited it down to make him look less of a turd.

Yeah the comparisons people are throwing around are kind of ridiculous. The guy sounds mostly harmless. I mean he’s most famous for a poem about his cat. Spoiler the cat ran away.
