The articles are asking what has the university done to poetry and music? What was lost when literary writing means you do a masters degree and hopefully land a job turning out more poets? How much does it effect or diminish the chances of something new? I know many people here want something old, but would the romantic movement have started at Eastern Carolina University or Tiny College America? People here may make their living in that system. That is what you’re supposed to do. To ask what is lost by turning any art into an academic field is the question a d it’s a legitimate one.
