{ This argument is very interesting. But I wouldnt dream of calling myself a
{ poet, which it seems is what these MFA people do. That is for other people,
{ meaning poets, to decide.
I rather think poets should be treated the same as murderers and presidents
--that is, even doing one poem badly should entitle one to the title. But, since
that usage is not very likely to prevail any time soon, I'd just as soon be called
a "writer" if I have to be called anything.
