Really! And I'm not alone, as you can read on I Don't Call Myself a Poet, a site of interviews with contemporary poets living and working in Britain and Ireland. The interviews were done by my students & the interviewees are a broad range of poets whose advice to young writers is, universally: READ! 

And if you're looking for something to read, I can highly recommend The Great British Bard-Off (not just because I have a poem, 'Piece of Cake', on it) and Wordgathering magazine (again, featuring a familiar name -- with three new poems): they're both online labours of love creating fantastic literary community.
