Hemingway Fitzgerald Gibson ( and/or Stephenson) ...just as a BEGINNING, these are great writers for a young man to be familiar with, and a broad range of stuff.
For poetry- Dylan Thomas, ee cummings, Keats/Byron, Pablo Neruda, maybe some Bukowski? also some Women, though there are many good ones that might be difficult for someone with his lack of education to get his head around.
And frankly- if you really want to write, noone can stop you, and it's the young writer's right to suck.
