Title: Oh yes it can.
Product review: Very occasionally--I mean VERY occasionally--shards of wisdom and insight will break out of the long, continuous, breathless skeins of Michael Lally's verse, showing him to have been an active combatant in the cultural and social wars of the 1960s. Ninety-nine percent of the time, however, it's just Lally talking about himself--endlessly, emphatically, dully about himself--with nothing in the way of memorable language, image, or even storytelling to hold the reader's interest. "Can't Be Wrong" is exactly the sort of navel-gazing stuff that gives Beat poetry a bad name.
