This guy is a poet - nothing unusual about that, there are thousands of them out there. But he has made a good living this way - doing his own road show, letting people hear (and see) what a real poet looks like.
People really want to know - and he has to satisfy them that he is real. Mainly by quoting his own poetry - and putting that into context. As he does here.
I saw him this way, back when I was working in Silicon Valley, in the Nineties. We have both aged since then, but his message has become even more forceful:
I work with the conversational nature of reality.Evidently he is part Irish - making his own contribution (as many others have) to English Lit.
