With my tongue only partially in my cheek, this line seems to show that high school and the world of poetry have some clear parallels. There's an edgy MTV or [adult swim] cartoon series that will never be made: famous poets and critics of the 20th and 21st century all attending the same high school. Wacky hijinks ensue. “Poems that were not so gripping were afforded more respect if the reader was beloved.”
