But you can work on a building site and still be a poet.
New York city has lots of doctoral recipients, and former professionals driving taxis, and with Covid 19,
the numbers may skyrocket.
BTW Lots of academic job losses ahead on this end as Universities try to balance their budgets. Some have initiated pay cuts.
Others without unions may start firing faculty indiscriminately.

National leaders are in a separate category. (Zik was a poet. Are all Igbo producers and consumers of poetry?)

Well, with the exception of the Somalis. I am told that every Somali is a poet.Not sure how this cuts across class in reality. Are they both consumers and producers of poetry?
I know for sure that the great Mohammed Abdile Hassan (Abdullah Hassan) launched his twenty year plus war against British, Italian and French occupation with poetry and arms(Samatar), 1899 - 1920.

Oga Yusuf, once we differentiate verses from poems, I insist that all poetry is elitist...either written from the street (whatever that means) or for the street.

I write poetry of protest because I came from the streets, unlike colleagues who came from the academia/intelligentsia.
