Allanboyd - the antipoet
Delete nn, probable case of vanity. TheMidnighters 19:21, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete, gets 1570 Google hits. Not all are this person (and he needs a space in his name), though. But the Google summaries do seem to suggest some notable coverage in Australia. I could be wrong though, so I'm persuadeable. -Splash 04:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't feel strongly on the matter but a Google search of "Allan Boyd" antipoet returns 135 results. The majority of which are ads for poetry workshops and listings in magazines for his shows. I've found no mention of published works, but that might have been me. So what we have is a guy in the suburbs who wrote an internet opinion piece a year ago and now coordinates small workshops and performs as other nn poets do. And I didn't see the notable coverage you mentioned. It's basically comparable to a local band who independently produced their own ep and play at the local bars. --TheMidnighters 14:21, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
 * You are right. I've changed my vote. -Splash 04:50, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
