Will somebody please disrupt Poetry already
A few weeks back I wrote about Artists, Gatekeepers and Disruption. The theme of that piece was how individual artists, empowered by new online tools, have been able to circumvent the old, “Gatekeeper” distribution models in entertainment — the Movies, Music and Books. What put that theme in my head in the first place was trying to understand why Poetry, specifically, still seems so “undisrupted”. Working titles included “Why does Poetry suck?” and “What the hell is wrong with Poetry?”
