Yes he does dabble in poetry, (Navarth etc), and the results are embarrassing (a pastiche of Poe and Coleridge?), lets hope he sticks to prose.
I know what you are saying about Heinlein, but I would disagree. Heinlein believes in a powerful overarching state (see Starship Troopers), I believe Vance is Viscerally opposed to that idea.
I enjoyed Heinlein, but his politics freighten me.
