Yes, he is a great poet. So is, vaadrEvu china veera bhadruDu.. ..

Here, ignorance seems to be almost bliss! But, pray Ramarao, won't
you educate me about vaaDrEvu china veera bhadruDu! Curious!!
"---<DIGRESSION>
Here is my favorite gripe: non-existent art of writing in telugu. Yes,
there are some writers that confirm to some intutive standards and
deliver the goods, but by and large, boy, telugus can't write for nuts!!

And, I become almost suicidal whenever I read any "poetry" of

Come on Ramarao! You mean to say that running public relations stunts
and poetry reading parades for thrills, don't make a poet! You are
completely out of touch with telugunaaDu.
Cinaare is in the center of our literary politics. Praise Cinaare,
you can have a tag and parade yourself as a puppy 'poet.' If you have
aspirations to be known as a literary 'critic,' in AP, don't ever
dare an honest evaluation of Cinaare as a poet. Parading, parading, and
parading! That is the norm, now. Look at the avadhaana craze!!
Oops! I might be getting into trouble again.
With Regards.
