I can see your point, Peter - look how the star of poetry has waned in
the former Soviet Union under the new free enterprise "freedoms" - but
there's a complacency in this I just wanted to protest. Is it _really_
harder to write poetry in a place where you're not going to get shot for
it? I don't buy it.
