One show in the United Arab Emirates is turning poets into millionaires
An amateur poet won $1.3 million on a TV talent show called “Million’s Poet” in the United Arab Emirates last week. The show, compared to “American Idol” for poetry, ended its sixth season. As literary prizes go, the only thing that comes close to this amount of money is the Nobel Prize for Literature with $1.2 million.
