"There is a good account of why poetry is now written only by poets for
poets in the 1991 Atlanta Monthly article at
>http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/gioia/gioia.htm ."
This is a headbangingly crass article. It's rather like the nature poet who
complains that the latest anthology doesn't have enough nature poets - i.e.
him or her - in it. Gioia's article is really bemoaning the fact that
nobody - public or professional poets - is reading the kind of poetry he
writes.
