A Culturally Harmful Gift

A Culturally Harmful Gift

Never give a bad poet a guitar. He or she might become yet another painfully self-indulgent “singer/songwriter”. However, you can give a really good poet a guitar, and he or she might be able to bring poetry to a wider audience and amazingly also make a living enriching our cultural landscape; e.g., Leonard Cohen or Joni Mitchell.
