the difference between shit poetry and sublimely-formed poems is often very slim and rests on juggling a bunch of elements (sound, meaning, form, structure, subtle shades of meaning created by the placement of words, etc.) more deftly than others. i can't really think of a truly great poet who was otherwise considered a dullard, or even just average. they all seem to have been considered extremely intelligent outside of poetry.
