Personal story: my childhood best friend's sister married the guy in Chicago who was credited with starting those, locally at least. He was known as Slam Pappy, but now I can't find him because the name is too similar to other Pappy's.
Supposedly fame ruined him, and now they're divorced. So you can get rich & famous in poetry; you just have to play your cards right.
