    1960s 'I like my life by the canal' Kavanagh though. Early 'these hills are so INCREDIBLE' Kavanagh and mid-career 'the world's so UNFAIR' Kavanagh would get on my nerves pretty quickly.

    Bukowski though I could never ever keep up. Or maybe Cohen. Possibly Tom Waits though he's only published one actual poetry work so far.

    If its in terms of L.C, probably Kavanagh

    Kavanagh would drive me nuts. "I'm a poor poet therefore i'm better than you!" And Rich would no doubt spark arguments... Probably Frost tbh!

    Robert Frost without a doubt! One of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century he's made Leaving Cert English an absolute pleasure this year.
