personally, I think my poems would be much better exactly as they are if someone else wrote them.
While I haven't much to add, and my comments on the matter wouldn't be much different from those above, I would like to say that it doesn't detract from the personal feats, aside from literary accomplishments, of the writer; a young prodigy cranking out an epic and some the greatest odes in the language before dying while still in his twenties, or a woman managing some fantastic poems written in soap during the Holocaust, or massive epic being smuggled out of prison in scraps, is still pretty fucking amazing; but the two are not the same thing.
