More in Bad Poetry? Bad Poetry?
Of course there's bad poetry, I've got a whole computer full of the stuff. Fortunately, it's really not that difficult to sort out most of the bad and concentrate on the good. Apparently there are plenty of folks who don't want to hurt feelings, or something. The flip side of this is that there truly are many different kinds of approaches to poetry and people with limited tastes are more than willing to label something they don't understand as bad when, really, they just don't have a clue about the merits of a particular style. A wide exposure to brilliant poetry is the best cure for poetic ignorance.
