Yeah, I really love how his background, the working class, auto industry stuff, plays into his poetry. I wish there was more stuff like it. Doesn't he have one that talks about how people in the ivory tower often don't understand the idea of manual labor or being desperate for work? (I might be misremembering details.)

Ha, I'd actually just tagged this one. Livejournal implemented a cap on the number of tags a community can have, a thousand, which we're at, which means only previously-posted poets can be tagged, not new ones, which is kind of a discouraging blow to the whole system. Also I think people just got lazy about it.
