I bet most of you Hemingway fans didn't know he wrote a book of poetry. I have a copy: Ernest Hemingway 88 poems.

It's pretty bad; most of his "serious" poetry was written in his early 20s, when nobody is really any good, and what he attempted after that was usually parodic in intent and wears thin easily.

Yet the man took a stab at it whether good or bad. I have his book and I believe that about eighty to ninety percent of his poems are tongue in cheek and not trying to win a prize with the poems.
