Er, somewhat. As to the former that is. A topic rather much discussed
hereabouts prior to your um debut Kent.
As for banning poetry and its improvement, there seems to a considerable
effort employed in pursuing the former without effecting the latter by many
an Editor, Prize-Winner, Academic, Reviewer, Arts Marketeer and Mountain Top
Platitudinist.
A giftlessness of censorship that will not even own up to its own existence.
