Yes they were.
I also think of Philip Larkin, the grumpiest and possibly most boring poet on the face of the earth. We studied him for A-level English, and almost all of his poems focus on the fact that there's someone or something he doesn't like very much. Also famous for writing the classic line "they f*ck you up, your mam and dad" (the only line his poetry every sixth-former is guaranteed to remember!)
