Freedom of expression in Poetry.

[Truerenigma]

If all you can offer is the stuff that requires the reader to dissect the poem line by line to figure out the meaning, if it has one, the public aint going to bother, end of story.

Dean Young is one of the few pop poets respected by much of the literary crowd who actually sells A LOT of books.

Try figuring out the "meaning" in his poems. In fact, try asking him what they "mean". I don't think even he knows or cares. He's been quoted many times saying (although not in so few words) that meaning is meaningless.
