What is poetry? And does it pay?
This story in Harper’s may call into question all of the most recent statements I made about poetry and its importance. The writer goes to an annual meeting of the “Famous Poets Society.” One which happens at the Gold Nugget in Reno, of all places. Top prize: $25,000. I laughed out loud several times while marveling at the author’s ability not to completely come unglued at certain of the goings on.
