Not entirely true with the whole "Poetry is a poor man's profession" bit. True of the MAJORITY, sure. True of Billy Collins and Franz Wright? Doubt it.
Granted, these are adept poets who, with a combination of skill and luck, made it into the big time. Most of us will not be so fortunate
.
Speaking of Franz Wright, has anyone ever read his stuff? Kind of whiney, don't you think?
Oh, and to the mod who threw on that extra line to my "fantasy", I forgot to finish my story.
I would then open up my own factory that produces them. There. I'm a factory owner.
