Why do you feel sorry for her? And no, you should not have brought your prof into this. Just because some published academic goof who teaches of all things a "creative writing class", which is in essence group therapy, says you poetry is good does not mean the general public will accept it. That is life. Most people read John Grisham, not Paul Auster. I am glad your prof deems you to have potential. It is a good feeling and maybe you are deserving, but frankly you have a long way to go. The slams you receive are simply responses to your, well, slams.
