A POET READS--JUNE

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 name them, whether I read a single poem or an entire book by them. January's reading is HERE, February's reading is HERE, March's reading is HERE, April's reading is HERE, and June's reading is HERE.

These poets make up June's reading (translators' names also are included):
