The reason so much bad poetry is written is that it is written as poetry instead of concept. And the reason the public doesn’t understand poetry is that there is nothing to understand, and the reason most poets write it is that they think they understand. Nothing is to be understood or “regained.” It is simply to be written. By someone. Sometime. And not too often.
