The Elite Poets

The elite poets



I have been watching a program about poems and the creator of poetry,

what is typical of younger poets they are an upper middle class, university educated and know everything about the craft.

At the end of studies, they feel they have to write a book of poems hungry as they are for literary fame,

having read the old master think they have to be dramatic and write about experiences they have not had yet,

nevertheless, they get favourable mentions in the Guardian and the rest is hype and bull.
