Something is rotten in the state of American poetry. Â With
respect to audience and artistry, poetry has shot itself in many
portions of its anatomy, and keeps blasting. The fact that
vast numbers of poems are published every year, and a large number
of Creative Writing students and graduates combine to read a few of
them, does not mean that poetry is on the right track. Â How
has the erstwhile Queen of the Arts been consigned to the tiny
corner of the cultural basement where she languishes today—and
how can she get out? As an acclaimed poet and veteran
teacher of poetry, Charles Harper Webb knows what it takes for a
poem to grab a reader's attention and hold on. As a former
rock singer/guitarist and a licensed psychotherapist, he
understands how to connect with an audience. A Million MFAs
Are Not Enough shows—with wit and style and concrete tips that
working writers can use—how poetry can return to cultural
relevance again. Â
