Nothing in this article appears to be verifiable. There are no external sources.

The interviews check out, and so do the ISBNs. DS (talk) 17:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, ISBNs, but the information is unreliable. And clearly written by the subject; ie, "At this point in her life she realized she had always been either the bosses daughter, the bosses girlfriend, or the bosses wife. Finally she was THE BOSS!

Agreed. While that sentence is gone, this article needs MAJOR clean-up from start to finish. It's not even about missing sources--it's about not coming close to standard Wikipedia style. The entry reads like a bio from an author's personal website--this should probably contain a third of the details. I also question the relevance of the bibliography length--even very well-known prolific writers on Wikipedia don't always list every single published piece--most are selected bibliographies. Even if they're full, you won't see one like this, where every single poem published is listed. I think it needs to be shortened to just complete poem collections to look legit; it would actually increase the sense of credibility that I imagine the poet would want the entry to have (e.g. the "An Eternity of Bliss" listing sounds like the title of one of those thinly-veiled vanity press anthologies--even if that isn't the case). It would be great if the original contributors could check out the basic style guide and do more work on this. Efrafra (talk) 10:12, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
