Hey
do you guys think its actually possible to be successful as a poet in 2017? I'm way better at poetry than anything else but I feel that I need to incorporate that talent into music or short fiction in order to succeed. It feels like all poetry now is simply political and i will never succeed in that field because i'm a straight white male.

In the gulag you will have plenty of opportunities to write poetry on toilet paper in between cultural sensitivity training sessions.

That's a lot of superfluous language for a poet. Maybe you should be a lawyer or a novelist.

Im joking. You're probably good, and will become great.
IMO the humanities are suffering in general, and the only route to capital in the realm of letters is SJW/political shit because it's in right now. So I say write what you want to write, and then when this pathetic plebeian wave crashes over wester civilization, your work can be part of the rebuilding/healing process.
