What I want having read a poem is a feeling of satisfaction that I’ve understood it, not to feel stupid or inadequate because I haven’t and have to waste time googling it. So when I see a poem that’s “after” someone I’ve never heard of, I just don’t read it.
Oh. I thought this was a poll. Fame and fortune.
