Has the world of poetry become too academic? Does the contests, publishing, awards, judges all seem to have either a PHD or MFA? Has poetry in America become a fraternity?

It seems to me that no, and no matter how much the academic community influences poetry and art in general, poetry remains an absolutely independent trend in our country. I recently wrote a small study about this with the EduBirdie site, where I talked about how poetry in general can be a part of academic life as well. It is important.
