The Rialto @rialtopoetry.bsky.social · Dec 2

If you’ve appeared in The Rialto, please come and say hello, we’d like to try and connect up all the bits of our poetry community and get some sense of who is using what platform, maybe even do a Started Pack or two. Seems like a good starting point.

List 3 takes us from P to Z. Then adding people I discover new here as I find them. If you're not on one of the lists because I accidentally missed you (it's been quite complicated so possible) or new to me, let me know. Please share. Will add this in comments of pinned post

This is List 2 of US Poets started pack (I've also posted it in the comments to my pinned post with List 1). It lists poets from J to O (1st names). If I missed anyone, by accident or not finding them yet, let me know. I'll do another list later.

I've started compiling starter packs of UK Poets. I've just finished the first one... alphabetically listed from A to J (1st names)... will start another list from there on.
