So is your resistance to Heany based on having read much of his poetry? I ask because aside from listening to bits of his work in the NPR broadcast I referenced in my nomination, and reading his excellent verse translation of Beowulf I have never read any of his works.

Holding off on voting in anticipation of further information.
