Don't blame the form

[rowens]

Leanne, I think we should all spend 50 years studying and practicing the most sophisticated examples of poetic voice and verse methods and then get drunk for ten years and then try our best to write like Bukowski, or Maya Angelou if we happen to be anything other than Rilke or white. And if we don't like drugs and the French, just write right after the 50 years of study and skip the decade of drunkenness.
