Willis Martyn
non-notable poet. Nothing by him is available on amazon. Articles claims he won an award from poetry.com, but a Googe search for "Willis Martyn" produces only 22 unique hits, none of which are from poetry.com. Also claims that his work is used as teaching material at a university, but there's no citation and none of the Google hits confirm it - in fact, most of them don't seem to be about this guy at all. I have doubts about the factual accuracy of the last two sentencs, and even if they are true, I don't think he would be sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion due to low Google results and nothing on amazon. -Elmer Clark 04:12, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Addendum: He does have some poems on poetry.com, but if he did win an award there, it wasn't a cash prize, and therefore was a pretty minor prize even within the scope of poetry.com. -Elmer Clark 04:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
