There are only a handful (or fewer) English-language poets of his generation whose work is already so original, so fully formed, and so clearly destined to become part of the central tradition.\"\u003cbr\u003eHarold Bloom \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Kinsella\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Perth, Australia in 1963.
