Delete. Seems like a good guy, but not notable enough for an encyclopedia -- yet at least. Lautréamont, for one, didn't get famous until over fifty years after he bought the farm, and there's longstanding precedent for long waits to attain poetic fame. Also, as for the specifics of the article, selling 6,000 copies of your book in six months does not make your book a "bestseller," and "garner[ing] high praise from readers and reviewers the world over" smells strongly of WP:WEASEL. --Dynaflowbabble08:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
