He wrote his first poem at 8 p.m. on the evening of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Unlike the event it wasn't memorable. However, he kept on writing.

He has been called a confessional poet, probably because of a strong autobiographical tendency in his writing. Letters is generally acknowledged to be his best work.
