Great Regulars: Now 78, he [Donald Hall] does not think highly

of some of his own poems.

"There's too much of it I despise, especially in the early work. It seems to me that I was striking poses, or trying to make poems when I didn’t have anything to make."

So is there such a thing as "too young" when it comes to being a poet?
