Quote by Peter Davison
And there are a lot more people reading poetry, but there are not so many people reading an individual poet.

Summary
This quote suggests that while the overall interest in poetry may have increased, this does not necessarily translate to a significant number of readers for each individual poet. It implies that there is a higher readership spread across multiple poets rather than a concentrated readership for a particular poet. In other words, while poetry as a genre may have gained popularity, it might not guarantee specific poets the same level of readership and recognition.
