Not QUITE the same thing
but the late Martin Grampound
wrote a poem that is composed entirely of phrases that are anagrams of his
name
see

I think I tried something similar myself but it wasn't as good a poem -- I
may try and locate it in my files later -- although I did do one using
another poet's name -- that one got published, but I never told the poet
whose name I used!
