our age

poet/blogger adam fieled posted 5 questions re: poetry and the 21st century. pithy and succinct these queries are. i think we as we live in and thru our new age are developing a new poetics that is anchored with the internet. we are still developing yet it is instructive to ask what these new poetics might be. is it more open, less dependant on universities [as i sure hope so, not because academe is bad for poetry but that poetry and its practitioners make for a healthier eco-system because of variety of experiences and working lives]. however you answer fieled's questions one thing for sure is that the internet, online poetics to use a phrase by jim mccrary, makes this an exciting time to be a poet.
