He stood out for his unfashionably brilliant command of poetry's formal resources, and the idiosyncratic range of his concerns, which include film noir and espionage, not to mention life's little ironies and larger tragedies. To read him, Zbigniew Herbert felt, was to be ' in the presence of a major poet', and one who had ' seized upon thematic material of central importance to the modern world' .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenri Coulette (1927- 88), who spent most of his life in Los Angeles, was regarded as a master craftsman and a quiet original by his teachers Robert Lowell and John Berryman, his peers Donald Justice, W.D.
