why not support the poets you cannot stand? It’s not like they are competing with your sci-fi romance novel. Yeah go ahead and write haikus about your dad buying you the wrong colour Audi when you were sixteen, sure I’ll invite my friends. Why the fuck not. We got to stick together otherwise none of us will succeed.

Apart from guys who put on a Salford accent at gigs so the audience thinks they’re working class. They can fuck off.
