Dan Schneider claims to have written 1500 genuinely great poems. By comparison, the greatest published poet of all time, Rainer Maria Rilke, has only 77: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJrj7WvTt8Y
This makes Dan Schneider a literary genius the likes of which the world has never before seen. Hard to believe? Read his poems and judge for yourself: http://cosmoetica.com/Poetrylinks.htm
I'd link a specific one, but that shouldn't matter, as they're all supposedly great. His wife, of course, is the second greatest poet of all time: http://www.cosmoetica.com/Jessica%20Schneider.htm
He also likes to improve poems written by other authors by cutting out unnecessary lines. He performs such excisions on such beloved greats as Yeats, Eliot, Keats, Frost, Ashbery and plenty of others: http://www.cosmoetica.com/TOP.htm
For some examples of his criticism, see him take 2/3 of the meme trilogy to task:

He's a bit kinder to Ulysses, but also considers it extremely overrated, and feels that the film adaptation is superior: https://web.archive.org/web/20111006165411/http://www.noripcord.com/reviews/film/bloom
He also does interviews with various people, but I'll only link to this one with famed anime voice actor and Star Trek fan film director Vic Mignogna, which I found quite surreal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEFwT-ko9Ac
In a similar vein, here are Dan Schneider's thoughts on Dan Schneider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IdJ83GP5cg
So, what are /lit/'s thoughts? Have we all been missing out on a once-in-a-millennium genius, or is he just a phony? BTW I am not Dan Schneider, but you can assume I am if you want to.
