Two decades ago, a brazenly hirsute singer named Paula Cole lamented, “Where have all the cowboys gone?” Hard to say, Paula, but judging by the prose that permeates today’s popular culture, a more salient question for the braless divas of 2015 to pose might be, “Where have all the poets gone?”

Fortunately, poets and wordsmiths still abound, albeit almost entirely in a cultural distributary. They go to events like Uptown P.E.N.
