So, I'm learning since Andrea Gibson's death that there are 'people' (troglodytes) who think their poetry "isn't very good."

And while you'd think that would be somewhat an encouragement, you know, you can't be EVERYONE'S cup of tea...

But REALLY it's just heartbreaking and demoralizing and demotivating that such block headed philistines even exist in the world.

Why bother making art at all, if THAT is the predominant audience of the future???
