I think the U.K. is too small to write about from within it and still make it seem foreign and exotic and interesting.
Writing is a creatively rewarding occupation but for me very time consuming.
I think we will always have the impulse towards visual poetry with us, and I wouldn't agree with Bly that it's a bad thing. It depends on the ability of the individual poet to do it well, and to make a shape which is interesting enough to hold your attention.
