Betjeman, heath or john Cooper Clark for me. Opposite ends of the spectrum but still both good

Betjaman and JCC both excellent, love hearing JCC speak.
Mrs H had a friend who was a friend of JB, and she was always so proud that John used to visit. Mrs H was always invited to sit in 'John's chair'.

Closer to home, one of Mrs H's cousins is a poet - quite well known in east Yorkshire. But I suspect that it's because he's so s*** poor as a poet.

I am minded of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, well known poet and drug addict.
During an opium-induced dream, he composed "Kubla Khan". On waking, he began putting the verses to paper,...when he was interrupted by a knock on the door from a travelling salesman. The interlude completely derailed Coleridge's poetry efforts, and the poem was left unfinished.
