A POET READS POEMS-JANUARY

As of Jan. 1, I began tracking the following stats on a daily basis:

--how many poems I wrote and/or edited
--how many poems I read
--how many poetry chapbooks and/or books I read
--other media that relates to poetry, e.g. audios and videos

On Facebook, where I post my daily list, my favorite comment was from witty Melinda de Jesus who said, “They’re like a FitBit for poetry…” My daily posts can look like this entry:

1/7/18: Today
I wrote zero poems.
I read 6 poems and 1 poetry book

That’s it. No names, which is why I’m posting below the names of poets whose works I read.

I wasn’t—still am not—sure of what this list will achieve, except that it does show something I promote: a poet should read a lot of poems across a wide variety of concerns. So while I still figure out how I’m going to use this information, I’m going to blog monthly the poets whose works I read that month.  Whether I read a single poem or multiple copies of their books, these poets are the ones I read (and/or viewed for VizPo) in January. This list also includes translators as translation is/can be a form of poetry.
