The bloke I had in mind, or rather did not have in mind, in my original post was Gunther Grass, he of 'The Tin Drum'. I have now, courtesy of wiki, found out that although he wrote few novels, he did write other stuff, essays some poems and so on. I also note that v late in life, he owned up to having been in the Waffen-SS.
How much can anyone get through? Kipling wrote over 1000 poems-- maybe the best is not 'If..' but something long-forgotten? Hum.
