Response: two non-vanity press published books, a respected poetry prize, and a college symposium reviewing one book should meet the bare notability criteria. The merit, quality, or significance of this kind of contemporary poetry, on the other hand, is a critical judgment properly left to WikiProjectPoetry.ElijahBosley (talk) 21:02, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
The introduction information contradicts the sections following it. It says he's currently a student, then later that he's a professor. Also is there a source for him being a philanthropist and medical contractor? This may be a different person from the poet. His website doesn't mention this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:8500:50C7:F4AA:67A1:5893:4DCB (talk) 06:30, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
