I guess I am not exactly sure what you are asking.

Me neither. The fact that the question is phrased as if this is a common shift of focus is in itself perplexing.

@tomic601

Not sure what your point is. Care to elaborate?

Mine is that that simply because something is "poetic" or well written does not make it poetry. 

@stuartk,

I don't read poetry.

I read some Poetry…i suppose push came to shove I like Wendell Barry, Jim Harrison, Ted Kooser , even i suppose when feeling silly sonnet constraints…stuff like Sonnets of the Wingless Hours.

One of my dear friends, quite the Jazz and art connoisseur…prefers blackout…  

oh…. and of course…Leonard Cohen… in particular The Book of Longing… on copy thirty or so…. i give them away
