Through these influences, he honed his now-famous writing style and wrote some of his first poetry. His parents often encouraged him to write his poetry, and his earliest poetry shows clear signs of this encouragement. One of his poems, Bash Wednesday, tells of the time his father encouraged him so mercilessly that he was unable to do anything but write poetry for over a week.

Through these influences, he honed his now-famous writing style and wrote some of his first poetry. His parents often encouraged him to write his poetry, and his earliest poetry shows clear signs of this encouragement. One of his poems, Bash Wednesday, tells of the time his father encouraged him so mercilessly that he was unable to do anything but write poetry for over a week. Despite the fact that his parents were very wealthy, he attended a public school during his first few years. By his third year, he was being so savagely encouraged by the other children that he was rendered unable to attend school, instead focusing very intently on his poetry. After a year of this intense focus, he returned to school, although this time to a private school in the county. After he turned 15 he dropped out to focus on his poetry writing, getting a job as an on-air personality at a local radio station where he debuted his poems.
