It's good and dead, long live zombie poetry.

Maybe I'm wrong. but it seems to me that egocentric poetry/prose doesn't lend itself to real self-examination so much as it sets up the naive or hack writer to babble incoherently and become immediately offended by anyone suggesting that their work isn't brilliant. Those are not craftsmen/women in any real sense of the word because they can't understand the language of writing, so they mimic the 'sound' of it. It's highly likely they never read challenging works in different genres or styles because it requires too much work.

Someone who is addicted to/serious about writing will usually pass through this phase and submit better initial drafts even if the editing process is painful. Some will see their work as too precious and avoid this step. Others will have no idea how to perform this process and will abandon every first draft if it isn't 'born perfect.' I'm convinced the number of novice writers who want to become highly skilled poets is inversely proportional to the number of submissions flooding the net. Good poets are rare and bad poets are legion.
