Clearly, Burroughs and Bukowski spring to mind. And James Brown would too if he wrote books.
anyone famous
Clay Aiken. That guy couldn't write himself out of a paper bag. Thanks a lot Oprah.
Jorie Graham. John Ashbery. Mark Levine.
the some of the beats by far: Kerouac esp. more recently, Anne Carson

I am a literary crusher. I was a fellow in Wisconsin. Dirty Dancing, Salon link. You'll have to watch a little ad to read the whole article, which is worth it, considering I'm quoted in it. OR click on this NO AD version. Here I pop in at McSweeney's to dispense more wisdom. I share design advice as well. I wrote some strange books for kids about capitalism, coping with death, SE Hinton, and William McKinley's Assassination I used to drive an ambulance. I am not a jumper, running back, account executive, convenience store entrepeneur, hazee, murderer (see bottom of column), or a real estate agent. Did I miss anything? (Googling yourself is fun, but Amazoning yourself is even better.)
