No reference to Mallorca? How can anyone place The Island in context without knowing about Mallorca. I'll log in this weekend if possible to correct this. Snakespeare 00:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The chicken farmer bit in Life should be verified.... it was next to another piece of obvious vandalism that I just removed. --Stefankamph 20:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- The chicken farm is a verifiable fact. It was in Littleton, New Hampshire. He was 23. The story goes that he wrote to Cid Corman whose radio show he heard on the farm, and Corman had him read on the show, which is how Olson first heard of Creeley. Snakespeare 00:27, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Where is it reported that he died? I can't find it anywhere... that's very sad.
- I first saw it on Metafilter. I was shocked as he was a formative influence on me. They had no useful web reference; it was a private gathering at the end, and the FPPer was given the information personally by someone attending if I recall. Only two obits were showing a day after, but more info is now up: Google News --AllanBz 21:22, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This article needs better organization.

I am confused about the Pound-Olson-Creeley Connection, in that I've always felt that Pound belonged with Eliot. My sense has always been that there is a Williams-Olson-Creeley connection and that they were in most ways unlike Pound and Eliot. AshDean 19:06, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
I hope this article will expand to include a reference to Bobbie Louise Hawkins. Hawkins was Creeley's wife for a long time (18 years?) and is a significant poet and fiction writer in her own right.
