Are poets mostly gay?
The question is, for me, as a man, who is interested in art and poems, are the most poets gay? Of course, there was a lot in the history, that was truly gay: Walt Whitman, Fernando Pessoa, August Graf von Platen (Germany), Jaime Gil y Biedma, W.H.Auden,Allen Ginsberg, Sandro Penna etc. Are gay man more sensitive? But there are a lot of heterosexual poets. Maybe, it´s a stereotype, but in the society, the most people think, when a 18 years old man writes poems, he is gay. Only he knows, if he is gay. You must read his poems, to know it or not, but you can not say, every poet is gay. Next time, when you read a poem, please inform you (in Wikipedia, for example), if the poet was or is gay, but don´t create stereotypes in your brain!
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Yep looks like i am gay too hahaha!
