I have just looked through his page and it all seems amazing help. Ended up laughing on several occasions as I knew my "poem" included some of the novice elements he frequently references. I'm going to study his work in greater depth and above all...read! Could you suggest any good poets? I'm reading Whitman, Rambaud, Alan Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac's novels.

Thanks again.

read everything you can get hold of including the bad poems. that's one of the main problems, most new poets only have newb poems to use as a rule of thumb, knowing decent or good poetry will come the more you read both kind. we have an awful lot of poets and poems here, here, and elsewhere in the lower down forums, we also have some audio poetry as well as other helpful stuff
