Conclusions

If there's an uncommon word with a romantic/nature-based meaning there is probably a literary magazine registered under that title.  (Rule 34 also applies)

Poets should piggyback on the success of other art forms to maintain interest.  Ekphrasis anyone?

Poetry retreats tend to be run in natural/green settings.  This is counter-intuitive.  Poets are intended to suffer. 
 

The Poetic Research Bureau is a real thing.  Its creators seem to be lost somewhere in the decomposing bowels of James Joyce. They favour 'appropriations, impersonations, 'compost' poetries, belated conversations, unprintable jokes and doodles, 'unoriginal' literature, historical thefts and pastiche'.  If anyone knows what the hell compost poetry is, please do enlighten me.
