Prophets Lennon, Gallagher, Docherty, Turner, Fray, Ashcroft, and Dylan. Keats and Yeats are on your side, but you lose 'cause Wilde is on mine.

Letter from Basil Bunting to George Oppen, 16 January 1973. From the Archive for New Poetry, Mandeville Special Collections, UC-San Diego. I believe that the book Bunting thanks Oppen for was Oppen’s recently published Seascape: Needle’s Eye.
