The only real lowlife is the self righteous who judge others. Interesting tribute as I had never heard of this guy before. i'll have to check out his works.

Beautifully penned your opinion. I must say I agree with you, now. As a younger person in high school reading the "famous poets", I was introduced to Buke by my art teacher. Hated his writing. now, having lived- I love and better yet, understand it.
