Your being circular, Bob. The only thing not having an MFA "blocks" is
being a member of the MFA club, which surely isn't going to help one
much if they want to work in academia, for obvious reasons. You won't
find me disagreeing that our higher ed system is broken. But this
isn't an aspect of poetry, but of the academic system in general.
Where are you going to get any teaching position in anything in higher
ed without having those credentials?
