I think it's fair to say that poets would like their work to be read. So it's reasonable to ask: Where / how should one publish in order to be read? What form of publication is most likely to get a poem read? Granted, we try to put our eggs in multiple baskets. But where do we find the most readers?

I hate MicroSoft so much.

Been home sick two days. Feeling better, but I need to rest because we’re going out of town for a couple nights — a little getaway centered around seeing John Moreland Saturday night.

I mean look at those lineups!
