[stylist] understanding poetry

[Barbara Hammel]

I have decided that I am stupid.  I have read”the Best American Poetry”  2000 through 2003.  I probably average two poems a book that I actually understand, though I don’t like them.
What happened to the days when the average person wrote poetry.  Seems like these days you have to have many degrees behind your name to write what?
Ugh!
