Sure, in that boring, derivative Naturalist way. I can handle his novels just fine, but his poetry is tripe.

Never read his poetry. Used to enjoy novels we were forced to read in high school, but dig non fiction, really.

Constructive criticism not being readily available, I would think that the poet's most useful tool would be the desire and practice of continually honing his/her craft, and the willingness to learn from various sources whenever possible.
