Poet Persona And You, Which Is Which?

Who is the poet whose lines we recognize? Are there patterns in their written art? Does the texture change? Or is it a mood ring, always the ring but ever changing colors? Does it mean anything if a poet is a near perfect reflection of the pen pusher? Does poetry reveal deeper truths that wouldn't normally be seen with the writer? Is an alter-ego poet most prevalent? What is a true poet? True to the craft? a true preacher? true to their self? true to the genre? a kook with one oar? Yeah, I know which one I am now where did my boat go?
