In Australia, not reading poetry is the national pastime.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
I'm not really quiet or shy. Ask any of my friends! But I always ground my poetry in life itself. Poetry is an art of language, though, so I am always aware of every word's meaning, or multiple meanings.
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.
