A new poetry saint walks among us.

http://www.examiner.com/x-43155-LA-Poetry-Examiner~y2010m6d21-LA-Poet-Rick-Lupert-has-a-message-with-a-twist-and-is-hands-down-the-funniest-voice-in-poetry

Yes, the person mentioned above is talented. 

But to call him "the funniest voice in poetry" is gilding the lily a bit. 

And another example of how the old guard of the Los Angeles/Orange County communities spend a lot of time canonizing their own (still remembering a "swimsuit calendar" done by Tebot Bach years ago)--when they could be opening doors to nonpoets and/or beginners.
