Coming from a poet, to this I sigh and say "Sure - to the people who don't read poetry." This isn't meant as disparagement against you but against the general public who hold up Cohen as the pinnacle of poetry or such without a real awareness of everything poetry is these days. You can throw Dylan up there under the same exact moniker if you want, people will eat it up and agree as well. Hell thenewgreen you can add Jewel to this list whose 1998 book of poetry sold over a million copies probably more than any poet laureate has done. If we're gonna start talking about the average person's perception of poetry vs. quality poetry.he'll at least be remembered as one of the greatest poets of our time
