I have this series' entire collection of DVDs. What is interesting, I find, is that the commercial, "popular" artists that come on the show with their poems are noticeably less impressive and leave less of an impression on me than those whom I have never heard before. Come to think of it, that should not really be a surprise.
One thing that this show constantly reminds me of is that there are still spots and nooks in the art world where appearances do not matter, appearances are only secondary. It's really all about having something to say.
