Do you think that poetry deserves a wider readership?
Yes.
Do bookstores with no designated poetry section but entire shelves full of Ayn Rand and Bibles make you angry?
Unsure why you had to draw Ms. Rand and the Bible into it. I would like to see more poetry, but not at the expense of my religion (the Bible, to clarify; not Ayn Rand).
If you had a beautiful little bookstore and could stock it with whatever you wanted, wouldn't you have a section devoted to poetry?
Objection. Leading question, your Honor.
Why is poetry important?

Why should I read them? I am compiling a christmas list, and need to know.
Because he's arguably the greatest poet to grace the English language, is why.
