The near death of poetry is more tragic and serious then you or the academia realize.

Telling me to enjoy hip hop and rap is a bit mean spirited plus

Poetry is the best way to communicate certain things and is not the language of unreason or the irrational.

Most folk music is poetry so I fail to see your point anyway.

Would removing David and Mark from the bible give you a good feeling?

Is it the realm of smart people in the English Major to analyze the works of people who must be a bit mad or nuts for writing poetry?

Or perhaps to write some poetry while studying poetry might be great for English Majors.

I know this did not happen for me when I was an English major and graduated with a 3.25 GPA.

I can't believe you people made me read Pope and Dryden.  That was a bit of masochism really.

Don't be antagonized or do be antagonized.  That is totally up to you!?  Now the ball is in your court.
