successful at publishing instapoetry is not unlike critiquing
the Kardashians; certainly amusing, but largely pointless.
- Critiquing poetry is not like critiquing a person at all
- Poets and writers have a long history of critiquing both poetry movements and individual poets
- It is beneficial to poets, writers and readers to analyze poems and poets of every era
- There is a benefit in reading critique of both poetry and poetic movements
I am still on the fence over whether at some point it would make sense to add an Instapoetry section to the PigPen or whether it would make sense to add a challenge to the practice forums. I would need to study more to decide what goes in to one before I could competently make a practice post but I would be willing to participate if someone else made it
Thanks
