Great Regulars: When poetasters spew forth their garbage

and call it poetry, both poetry and potential readers of poetry lose. The speaker refers to poetasters as "half poets," and the so-called poetry of "half poets" "is not poetry."

Plus she asserts that the real poets "among us" must be "literalists of the imagination." And until they are, their work will be examples of "insolence and triviality."
