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.
