Quality, Quantity or Connections?


Last week the NY Times ran a story about some young poets who posted their poetry on line and had become very popular and sold more books than some highly regarded ‘print only’ poets.

On the web these poets found glory
The Times just published their story
They’ve achieved fame
I’ve been trying the same
But I’m deep in obscure territory.

Is their poetry better, did they write more of it, did they pick a better on line forum, or did they find an influential person to promote their work?  Any, or all of those are possible.

So, who is Khloe Kardashian?
Why is she an arbiter of fashion?
She’s someone you see
If you turn on TV
When the network has something that’s trashy on.
