" You call a call to make poetry more accessible to a wider audience elitist -- which makes no sense to me. "

Nein. Elitist is a strong word (and using it seems harsh and, ironically enough, rather elitist in itself) and I think I used it because it's been stuck in my head lately. I mean more like... frick. I can't think of a suitable word. Presumtuous? And the part I was calling elitist/presumtuous/whatever  was not the appeal for a wider audience part, but the idea of the WAY one makes it appeal to a wider audience is through a, b, c,d etc. Your original points. Mostly just the first one, where you said, some poetry is garbage. Cuz.. everything is subjective. Even shite. I think. Maybe. I don't know. What?

EDIT: I SPELLED PRESUMTUOUS WRONG. TWICE!
