I'd love to go to a day's workshop run by him!
So few poetry authors run really good ones - and by that I mean authors who aren't pretentious! I've been to a few poetry readings where they spout their god-awful writings which hark back to Victorian poetry. Any contemporary writing should be just that - contemporary and using contemporary language (obviously I'm making a sweeping statement and avoiding the whole notion of genre writing that is historical fiction).
So more swearing and cultural references!
