You do'nt get to judge the quality of your poetry (out loud). That's because, egocentric bias.
On the other hand, you do get to judge the quality of your scholarship. There is an ego there, too, but you can objectively lay out the strengths and weaknesses, and you compare yourself to others because you are all doing the same thing.
That being said, I do think my poetry is on the level of what semi-famous poets do, or actually better than the Pinsky, Collins type of poet.
