Misconceptions about this site

it IS interesting... so I agree, after publication, giving credit to where it has been published, and in public domain is perfect!

 When I firstpostsomething I generally like my friends who are not poets or don't belong to the sites, to be able to read

 but then I generally want to make it members only in the interim--

for more consideration, friendliness, etc...

my friend Don Campbell: his process:

1.post new poems for a month, public.

2. a)then take them down, put in chapbooks, publish etc.

b) simultaneously start the new month posting new ones

3. repeat every month

 I find the variations on this fascinating. I really am not sure how I want to do it. But one thing is--I am so preoccupied with writing that I can't quite figure out the posting-publishing thing. I am always on fire with poetry itself.
