Poetry exchanged within 'Some Girl'


Hello everybody, I'd like to learn about the author's name of the poem(s?) that appeared within one scene of "Some Girl", which I unfortunately only saw once and not since then.
It was that one of the "girls" got a poetry line from one of the "boys" at a date, and knew, to his slight embarassement, immediately that it was derived from a lovely poem by - that is the name I look for -, and she concluded the whole verse or poem in response, by heart.
(If I remember right, the name of the poetrist was mentioned again few minutes later, again within this couple, but without further poetry told).
Please forgive my poor English, I'm from Germany.

Thanks a lot in advance! Matthias

The poet is Richard Brautigan, all other poems in the movie were written by the screenwriters.
