> (What is "effective poetry"? btw)
I meant poetry that has a social or political effect, rather than just
being enjoyed or read with interest. I intended the meaning for this
context only; I don't want to imply that a poem has to inspire the
oppressed masses to throw off their shackles for it to be effective in
any of a large number of other senses.
Best,
