"Poems about poetry" are condemned almost as often as they're written; I just got a batch of rejections containing some things that were damned for that sin. As I moped, it occurred to me that if all such poems were banned we'd have to do without Dylan Thomas's "In my craft or sullen art," one of my all-time favorites.
What are other people's all-time favorite poems about poetry? I hope you'll find this query fun to answer.
Best wishes to all,
Maryann
