Poetry and Social Media

[billy]

the reason you don't get good poets putting a lot of their stuff on facebook is or could be because they don't want to be associated with vanity poetry, what do see good poets doing is linking to their own sites. sadly ego poets will never click on the link. nore will those who just sau great and love it.

billy,
This is exactly what I’ve been trying to get at. But I was also thinking about how this is an issue and how it could be solved by using the same social media sites that promote a poet’s wrongful egotism. Then again which one of those social media sites don’t promote a sort of egotism already? Anyways, apparently there’s completely no way, no different approach, to take towards using sites like Twitter and Instagram to make good poetry more accessible.

rowens,
I get that if you want good poetry you have to look for it. What would it take for good poetry to reach a wider audience?
