Underappreciated Poets

Poets are supposed to be under appreciated, don't you know?  There is always a strange reaction to those who become successful in their own lifetime, and so I always felt lucky that I made the living I did out of it.  I was convinced I'd be rumbled, and would have to go out and get a proper job.

John Cooper Clarke, quoted in January 2013 Writers' News www.writers-online.co.uk
