Let it be known...

I was reading Poets & Writers article on Billy Collins, an American poet, and he said something which I agree with 100%, which in turn made me feel a lot better in my beliefs as an experimental writer.

Elizabeth Kelley Gillogly reports "Unlike many poets on the literary scene today, Collins does not have an MFA, he has never taken a workshop, and he has never studied creative writing with anyone, 'Eighty percent of the reason I was attracted to poetry was that it is something you did by yourself,' he says".

Thank you Billy!
Now back to the lonesome (but fabulous) drawing board.
