Kristy has many valid points. I like her comments and fully understand her feelings.
What becomes lost is the poetry. And it should be about the poetry -- not about MFA, not about career, and not even about publishing. Poetry shouldn't be about publishing -- though it will come... and needs to come. It's about the art.
To gain, you have to let go.
If you want to create, move into the unknown. And move away from tradition.
