So, is anyone still concerned about the state of the Sphere?
I never was, and still aren't, because clearly it's in the safe hands of a load of comedians, so what is there to worry about?

Comedians and fun are fine, Jayne, and I meant it earlier when I said that you and others were right that there is still good on the Sphere, good people, good writers.
But philosophical gravitas is, to say the least, a dimension of poetry too. In many times and places the ability to express it has been considered the truest sign of greatness or stature in the art.
I have often considered starting a thread here called “Why is formalist poetry so philosophically lightweight?” But then I realized nearly no one would be interested.
