Here is a link to an article that is on the Poetry Magazine website. I read it and found it to be so interesting regarding poetry, in general.

Though the emphasis of the article is on rap, I felt like there were several good points regarding poetry that we might talk about.

If anyone would like to give it a look over and make a comment, I think it might turn into a fun dialogue. Something a little different to do in the poetry forums.

Here you go:

I loved the line (and I paraphrase): "MCs can look forward to millions of dollars. Poets can look forward to--tenure." Aint it the truth.

Interesting article. It makes me want to read Smith's On Beauty even more.
