Conrad Leviston: Anton's stuff moved from poetry page

Anton's stuff moved from poetry page

New page

=== Poetry by and for non-geniuses ===

I found that the most accessible 16th C poetry was William Shakespeare, and he's a genius and therefore a bad model for the rest of us. No matter how much you try, you cant write stuff as good as he does ...

Therefore, we need to model our work after people who are less good.
