Poetry is changing. The audience is dwindling.
I'll bet the number of people at Noble's buying poetry is 1/3 what it was twenty years or even ten years ago.
"Serious" poetry is targeted at college graduates that majored in English (U.S.) and discuss Chinese philosopy and the Great Conversation in tiny coffee shops in upscale neighborhoods.
Too funny, couldn't resist.
