I know this is off subject, but it reminds me of the poetry I wrote in college....so filled with angst....throwing my pain on paper and expecting others to find it beautiful instead of highly disturbing. lol.
I am very interested to see where the thread goes and explore if poetry published more by elite classes becasue of time to write, accessibility and similar background as publishers or if there is another deeper reason.
I wonder how much powerful poetry never is published.
Here in Nashville the homesless and their advocates publish a newspaper they sell for money to survive. The poetry in those papers is every bit as powerful and more relevant than much of what I studied in college. Amazing really. Hopeful.
