Reply to comment by jcd1974 in TIL about Rob McKuen, the bestselling poet in American history who sold 60 million books and 100 million records but is all but forgotten today by SAT0725

Bukowski might have been close, but he's not terribly female-friendly lol

And even though he's a poet first and foremost, I suspect Bukowski is better known for his autobiographical novels. Sort of like Maya Angelou.

I'll counter with Margaret Atwood, but that might just be a Canada thing.

Again, better known as a novelist - more's the pity.
