Might be something in that BR and perhaps why Denis Glover was one of the very few good ones here - if I recall correctly his father was Irish, don't know about his mother though. He was also an alcoholic for much his life and maybe that helped his poetry too; well while he managed to stay alive (he died when he fell down the steps of his home).

I actually met Denis a number of times very late in his life when I was a young student, that through a young woman who knew him and who later became my wife :-).
