"...American Poetry may be about to run out of greatness."

That is part of a qoute from David Orr a writer for the New York Times. The article is titled: The Great(ness) Game (http://http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/22/books/review/Orr-t.html?partner=rss&emc=rss). A very interesting article about the quality of today's poetry. I would like to hear what other Poets/Writers have to say.

for me, the future of poetry boils down to accessibility.

on a side-note, levi asher at litkicks has an interesting analysis:

Thank you and sorry all, I got it fixed. I see a qoute from my favorite writer. I love Flannery O'Connor.
