I read this poetry book his wrote in the late 60s. It was pretentious and too full of itself to actually say anything. The odd thing is, his song lyrics are among the most poetic I've ever encountered.

The longer one is pretty decent, I think. Better than oh, 99% of the words that come through here, lyrics or otherwise.
