Oh, here you absolutely got me. I have no connection with poetry in terms
of career, sinecures, academic tenures, funding and grant availability etc.
Furthermore what I've seen from a distance makes very plain to me that I do
not want any such connections.
So I'm certainly not qualified to argue what you say here, and I withdraw my
"trivial" characterization.
I must say: damned shame, though, if that *is* what really matters in that
world.
