BBC - Poetry Season
Patrick Neate:
"Tell someone you're a poet and their reaction will rarely be a brisk nod and an even 'right you are then'. More likely they will suddenly regard you in one of two ways - either with undeserved and inappropriate wonder or, more often, with equivalent and barely-concealed contempt. In the latter instance, their reaction seems to say: 'A poet? What's the point of that?'"
