Whatever mainstream poetry that oozes through the pipes of social media is, at most times, icky with all the attributes of "bad poetry". Why aren't there more poets that are willing to embrace the accessibility of the internet to deliver more high quality stuff? Why must those that our somewhat confident in their work allow a sludge of cliches and needless line breaks to permeate social media? Am I just not exposed to the right people online? Or are these people who write better than your 20-something-year-old-but-still-filled-with-the-romantic-angst-of-high-school just old-heads who fear that the internet will be the death of poetry... oh my! Do they rightfully fear so?
