Donald Hall:

After college many English majors stop reading contemporary poetry.  Why not? They become involved in journalism or scholarship, essay writing or editing, brokerage or social work; they backslide from the undergraduate Church of Poetry.  Years later, glancing belatedly at the poetic scene, they tell us that poetry is dead.  They left poetry; therefore they blame poetry for leaving them.  Really, they lament their own aging.  Don't we all?  But some of us do not blame the current poets.
