I cannot find decent coverage of this poet. There is quite a lot in various blogs, and I have found and added two interviews, but nothing that meets notability requirements. Tacyarg (talk) 23:50, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

- This is worded very promotionally, in particular the obviously cherry-picked quotes in the "reception" section, so if it is kept it needs to have a good going over for neutrality. I prefer not to spend my time looking for sources when an article is so blatantly promotional. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)]

- Keep. Substantial coverage in reliable sources exists: this article in WP:TNT isn't the right approach. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 23:10, 10 July 2020 (UTC)]

- Keep I did a little searching (<5mins) and found these: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. A bit more time in JSTOR, Project Muse etc, would (probably) reveal more. He's not famous but I believe he is notable. Agree with Phil Bridger on promo style problem; it reads like a press release. The article could defintely use work. // Timothy :: talk 23:49, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
