I'd never heard of him, so I googled. I enjoyed his "Death Comes in
the Form of a Pontiac Trans Am":
When I have fears that I may cease to be,
I think of death that revs and growls, backfires,
stops for none, is cherry red and sleek,
eats Honda Civics, coughs, and spits out wires.

Yes, from what I've read of him he seems interesting, it'll be good to
have a chance to meet him... sometimes these guys turn out to be
cooler than expected and want to see the weirdness of the area,
sometimes not. Seaborn Jones was my last poet meeting, but I knew he
was a live-wire before we teamed up, as he also knew about me.

Did he know you were an alcoholic drug-abusing lush and an aimless, hopeless
drain on society or did he know you were a horribly self-bastardized attempt
to throwback to the 1960s

No, we mainly talked about art, music and poetry.
