This is the same kind of crap that keeps my material from even being considered by the bigger companies. That's okay, someday I'll be laughing all the way to bank. (If I can stay out of the poor house.) lol

Poets/Authors/Artists can express themselves through poetry, fiction/non-fiction, etc. it can be about love, racism, self-worth, just about anything you can think of. It can also be about eroticacy and other things, as well.
