You could ask PBG if she thinks Yeats a better poet than Eliot, and I'll give odds on the result:

3/1 Looks at you blankly, snaps gum and finally says "I like that Angels song by Robbie Williams."

5/1 Looks at you blankly and says "My latest book on the Irish Literary Revival has just been published, in which I prove that Yeats was nothing but a second-rate plagiarist. If you buy a copy, I'll sign it for you."

1000/1 Invites you to bring a copy of the Rubaiyat round to her place for a one-to-one poetry reading.

I wonder what she makes of Walter Macken in her book.

And whether she'd sign PBG xx ....
