Artists

I have a problem with the word artist. I have a problem with the word art. They both have such weight, such baggage. Most "Art" I see, read, taste, feel I don't like. But some moves me to change. Some re-appears in my dreams or when I close my eyes.

I think we need a better phrase to describe intended creative work. How about "poetic craft" to describe art and "poetic craftsman" to describe those that make "poetic craft." Let's keep it lower case for awhile.
