I still don't believe that poets can be taught. No more than Jesus could be taught by God. A lot of insecure people post here and get scarred for life. Because to them poetry is some kind of ago-go that you just are a part of right away or you're not. Some kind of club that you can get into or you can't depending on what the frontman says. And people don't have time to know that poetry has to deal with madness, Jesus, the Earth being flat, and homosexuality and unintentional rape in ways that the usual talent doesn't spend. They don't think that unless you're Milton, Blake, Hart Crane or Robert Frost you can strike out on your own without Maya Angeblack or Billy Colgeneric saying oh. People don't know. Shelley and Keats kind of knew; but imagine all the others that would have slinked forth and back if they had Internet and lame schools at that time.
