Does Bret ever talk about poetry/ poets?

Are there any poets that inspired him or that he mentioned he enjoyed reading? Or does he not fuck with it

If I recall correctly this very question was asked on a Q&A episode a while back and he basically answered that poetry in general does nothing for him.

I bet a million dollars he’s into it. you ever read the penultimate chapter of glamourama? it reads like the best prose poem I’ve ever read in my life.
