"?uestion...or more a topic of discussion..." Thu Apr-07-05 03:47 PM by the Light
The poet Anne Stevenson recently said something along the lines of, 'you can now be an artist without being able to draw, you can now be a poet without a knowledge of form or meter...'
To what extent do you agree? Do you think it's essential for us to master the techniques and rules of poetry writing to be 'authentic' poets? Will a lack of mastery in the traditional sense act as a glass ceiling to someone's aspirations/accomplishments?
